Low turn-on voltage InGaP/GaAsSb/GaAs double HBTs grown by MOCVD

A novel InGaP/GaAs/sub 0.92/Sb/sub 0.08//GaAs double heterojunction bipolar transistor (DHBT) with low turn-on voltage has been fabricated. The turn-on voltage of the DHBT is typically 150 mV lower than that of the conventional InGaP/GaAs HBT, indicating that GaAsSb is a suitable base material for reducing the turn-on voltage of GaAs HBTs. A current gain of 50 has been obtained for the InGaP/GaAs/sub 0.92/Sb/sub 0.08//GaAs DHBT. The results show that InGaP/GaAsSb/GaAs DHBTs have a great potential for reducing operating voltage and power dissipation.
