Feng, Milton Snodgrass, William K. 2015-09-25T20:09:46Z 2015-09-25T20:09:46Z 10000-01-01 2009 2009 The subject of this work is the design and fabrication of heterojunction bipolar transistors based on InP and the III-V compounds compatible with epitaxial growth on this substrate. Scaling and compositional variations of the transistor material layers are studied with the goal of improving device bandwidth. The cutoff frequencies of double-heterojunction transistors are extended as high as 690 GHz while maintaining an off-state breakdown voltage greater than 3 V by using the InP/GaAsSb material system with a type-II energy band alignment. Chapter 1 of this work gives an overview of the relevant materials and device parameters. Material structure design and vertical scaling are discussed in Chapter 2. In Chapter 3, lateral process scaling and the sub-micron HBT fabrication process are presented. Chapter 4 details the material designs studied and the measured device results including sub-micron HBTs with record RF performance. Chapter 5 presents small-signal parameter extraction and modeling work. Future work in device design and fabrication is proposed in Chapter 6. Made available in DSpace on 2015-09-25T20:09:46Z (GMT).
