Abstract(in English) We have fabricated InGaAs/InP HBTs with an InP passivation structure and evaluated reliability. Life tests of the HBTs under a collector current density of 100kA/cm^2 were carried out at junction temperatures of 255℃ and 280℃. And also the tests about collector current dependence were done. The HBTs have shown a low emitter-base leakage current and stable characteristics in the life tests compared with HBTs without the InP passivation structure. The variations of current gain and turn-on voltage at a collector current density of 100kA/cm^2 are within 7% and 1%, respectively, after 4,411 hours in the life test of 255℃. We have obtained the activation energy of 1.5 eV, current acceleration factor of 1.3, and the mean time to failure of 5 x 10^6 hours at a junction temperature of 150℃.
