We have demonstrated a'functional Pnp heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) using InGaAsN. The metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOCVD) grown M0.~G~:AS~o,o~G~.9TASo.wN0.01 HBT takes advantage of the narrower b~dgap energy @g= 1.25ev) of Ino.03Ga0,wAs0.wNo.01, which is lattice matched to GaAs. Compared with the AIo.3Ga0.7.4s/GaAs material system, the AIo.3Ga0.7As/Ino.03Ga0.97As0.99N0.01 material system has a lm~er conduction bad Offset, while the v~ence b~d Offset remtins comparable. Thk characteristic band alignment is very suitable for Pnp HBT applications. The device's peak -current gain is 23 and it h"asa turn on voltage of 0.77V, which is 0.25V lower than in a comparable Pnp Alo,3G%.TAs/GaAs HBT.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
