Abstract

This study investigates the DC characteristics of a heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) with a quaternary InGaAsSb base, grown by solid-source molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The novel In0.52Al0.48As/ InxGa1-xAs1-ySby HBT has a lower base/emitter (B/E) junction turn-on voltage, a lower VCE,offset voltage and a greater junction ideality factor than conventional In 0.52Al0.48As/In0.53Ga0.47As single HBT structures. The quaternary InxGa1-xAS 1-ySby base provides a type-I B/E junction and a type-II base/collector (B/C) junction, suggesting that the InGaAsSb base HBT has great potential for low-power and high-speed applications.
