Abstract:This article first compares the difference of InGaP/GaAs heterostructure-emitter bipolar transistors (HEBTs) with tunneling-and superlattice-confinement structures at room temperature. In the two devices, the insertion of a thin n-GaAs layer at base-emitter junction helps to eliminate the potential spike and a relatively low collector-emitter offset voltage of about 40 mV is observed. The difference of tunneling mechanism will be investigated. Experimentally, a maximum current gain of 285 ( 176) and a current … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
