摘要
The current gain dependence on emitter-base junction size for fully self-aligned AlGaAs / GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBT’s) has been investigated, in which the extrinsic base layer is passivated by a partially thinned AlGaAs emitter layer. The current gain is improved due to surface recombination current reduction by a factor of 1 / 40 in the extrinsic base region. It has also been found that the base current is dominated by an excess leakage current in the proton-implanted isolation region. © 1990 IEEE
