摘要
In this letter, a new InGaP/GaAs superlattice emitter resonant tunneling bipolar transistor (SE-RTBT) is fabricated and demonstrated, A 5-period InGaP/GaAs superlattice is used to serve the RT route and the confinement barrier for minority carriers, Due to the large valence band discontinuity (Delta E-V) at the InGaP/GaAs heterointerface, a high current gain (beta(max) similar or equal to 220) is obtained, Furthermore, the interesting N-shaped negative-differential-resistance (NDR) phenomena resulting from RT effect are found both in the saturation and forward-active region of current-voltage (I-V) characteristics at room temperature.
