Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We have successfully developed an InP/InGaAs HBT fabrication process that shows high uniformity and high reliability of device characteristics. The device is a single-heterojunction bipolar transistor with InP passivation structure to reduce emitter-base leakage current. HBT mesas are formed only by wet chemical etching not to damage device characteristics. The HBT exhibits the current gain, cutoff frequency, and maximum oscillation frequency of 45.4, 151.1GHz, and 171.8GHz at a collector current density of 1 mA/μm^2, respectively. The uniformities of those parameters over a 3-inch diameter wafer are only 2.8%,2.6%, and 1.5%, respectively. The HBT has shown stable characteristics in life tests and we have obtained the activation energy of 1.5eV and mean time to failure of 5x10^6 hours at a junction temperature of 150℃, which is enouh for practical applications.
