Abstract

This study shows that the current gain of InGaAsSb base DHBTs is less sensitive to the emitter size and collector current density (JC) due to their low surface recombination. The deduced emitter periphery surface recombination current (K B,surf) of type-I InP/In 0.37Ga 0.63As 0.89Sb 0.11 HBTs is 1.57×10 -5 μA/μm at JC = 0.1 A/cm 2, which is twenty times lower than that of the conventional InP/InGaAs SHBTs. The results manifest the great potential of InGaAsSb base for aggressively scaled THz HBTs.
