Abstract
Summary form only given. A novel AlGaAs/GaAs HBT (heterojunction bipolar transistor) structure with buried SiO2 and polycrystalline GaAs (poly-GaAs) in the extrinsic base and collector is presented. The lower dielectric constant of SiO2 and complete carrier depletion of n-type poly-GaAs have reduced the extrinsic component of C BC (base-collector capacitance) to 30% while f T has been kept high by a thin intrinsic collector. By using newly developed low-resistance p-type poly-GaAs for the base electrode, further reduction in CBC is expected with a one-dimensional transistor structure, such as SICOS
