AbstractA study of selective area epitaxy (SAE) of GalnP lattice matched to GaAs is presented. The selectively regrown GaInP is used as the emitter of a novel heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) device structure. Successful SAE of GalnP on both dark field (mostly covered) and light field (mostly open) SiO2 masks is compared. To characterize the critical regrown heterojunction, diodes and HBTs were fabricated and measured. It is found that a pre-growth pause of either TEGa or PH3 results in forward bias characteristics with low leakage and an ideality factor of ~1.25, indicating low interfacial defect density. Non-self aligned regrown emitter HBTs grown with a dark field mask scheme have been fabricated. Devices with an emitter area of 3x12 μm exhibit small signal current gain up to 80 with an fT and fMAX of 22 GHz and 18 GHz, respectively. To further improve the performance of these devices, a structure with a self-aligned refractory metal base contact and light field regrowth is proposed.

ABSTRACTAn n+ /i/p /i/n amorphous silicon bipolar transistor has been successfully fabricated with a current gain of 12 and a response speed of 30 yS This new structure of bipolar transistor has a very thin base (200Å), therefore, high gain and high speed is obtainable. This device has a very promising applications as a flat panel display transistor and a phototransistor in photosensing element/array and photo coupler. Electrical and optical characteristics have been extensively investigated. Theoretical model and experimental results are plausibly in good agreement.Variation from the fundamental structure is also been developed, such as the Schottky emitter Al/i/p /i/n bipolar transistor.
