ABSTRACTThis paper reports the characteristics of GaInP/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) with carbon-doped GaAs base layer grown by solid source molecular beam epitaxy (SSMBE) using carbon tetrabromide (CBr4) as p-type dopant precursor. Hydrofluoric acid (HF) was used to passivate the GaInP/GaAs HBTs. At base bias voltages below 0.8V in the Gummel plot, the base current of large-area devices after HF treatment was greatly reduced. This indicates that the extrinsic base surface recombination current was greatly reduced. After HF treatment, detailed DC characterization of the device performance from 300K to 380K was carried out and the carrier transport properties were investigated. The base current and collector current ideality factors at 300K were 1.12 and 1.01, respectively. This indicates that the space- charge region recombination current in the base is insignificant. From the temperature- dependent Gummel plot, the activation energies of collector current and base current were obtained. For the collector current, the activation energy is 1.4eV, which is close to the bandgap of the GaAs base. This indicates that the collector current is determined by the drift-diffusion process, in which an energy barrier of the same magnitude as the base bandgap is to be overcome by electrons before they reach the collector. For the base current, the activation energy is also 1.4eV, which is close to the bandgap of GaAs, indicating that band-to-band recombination plays a dominant role in the base current. No trap-related recombination was observed for the base and collector currents, which further indicates the high quality carbon-doped GaAs base material for the HBT structures.
