Abstract
The characteristics of carbon-doped GaInP/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) with a compositionally-graded base are reported. The characteristics of HBTs with three different linearly-graded AlxGa1-xAs bases (x=0→0.1, 0→0.2, 0→0.3) are compared with those of an HBT without base grading. Nearly ideal transistor characteristics were observed for x values up to 0.2, indicating possible high-speed operation of graded base GaInP/GaAs HBTs
