Abstract
Changes in properties of molecular‐beam‐epitaxy‐grown GaAs by oxygen‐ion (O+) implantation and annealing, such as crystallinity, carrier concentration, and sheet resistance, are investigated. Using these results, we developed a method of O+ implantation through an external base area to form a small buried collector and to minimize the product, RbCbc, of the base‐collector capacitance Cbc and the base resistance Rb in an AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction bipolar resistance Rb in an AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) fabricated by a multiple self‐alignment process with one mask. High‐frequency properties of HBT’s are improved by this method remarkably.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
