Improvements in direct-current characteristics of Al0.45Ga0.55As-GaAs digital-graded superlattice-emitter HBTs with reduced turn-on voltage by wet oxidation.

Heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) having an Al0.45Ga0.55As-GaAs digital-graded superlattice (DGSL) emitter along with an InGaP sub-emitter are reported. The band diagram of the DGSL emitter is analyzed by using a transfer matrix method and the theoretical result is consistent with the experi...
