Abstract :
Near-ideal abrupt heterojunction InP-GaAsSb-InP double heterojunction bipolar transistors (DHBTs) have been implemented. The GaAsSb conduction band edge is measured to be 0.18 eV higher than the InP conduction band edge. Resulting in a ballistic electron launcher collector that is free of the blocking effect normally associated with GaInAs DHBTs. The collector and base current ideality factors were 1.00 and 1.05, respectively. Also a very low collector offset voltage VCE,OFF=14 mV was measured for 5×12 μm2 self-aligned DHBTs
