Title: Laterally etched undercut (LEU) technique to reduce base-collector capcitances in heterojunction bipolar transistors

Conference ·
OSTI ID:405406

The authors report a novel fabrication process aimed at reducing the parasitic junction capacitance of AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors. The process, named as the Laterally Etched Undercut (LEU) process, physically removes the extrinsic base-collector junction area and results in a cantilever structure. The d.c., small-signal, and large-signal performances of the LEU devices are compared to those obtained from the conventional devices.
