Abstract:
It is demonstrated that GaAsSb:C doping grade improves device DC current gain in GaAsSb/InP DHBTs. A β versus base sheet resistance curve is established to examine the effectiveness of various base grading schemes compared to a uniformly doped baseline. The results indicate a 20 % increase in β with the doping grade compared to the baseline.
