InAs=InGaP=GaAs heterojunction power Schottky rectifiers

چکیده
A low-temperature (LT) grown InAs epi-layer has been applied as the gate to the dual-material structure of lattice-matched InGaP on GaAs, to make a high-temperature power rectifier. The LT molecular beam epitaxy technique enables the formation of an abrupt interface between InAs and InGaP. This heterojunction rectifier utilises the strong thermal stability of the InAs=InGaP heterojunction and the high figure-of-merit of the InGaP=GaAs dual-material structure for power devices. The LT-InAs=InGaP=GaAs heterojunction rectifier demonstrates lower on-state resistance, lower off-state leakage current, and higher breakdown voltage, than metal=GaAs Schottky rectifiers.

A hybrid epitaxy method for InAs on GaP
The interface formation mechanism during the molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) of InAs/GaP has been studied with the aid of the In–Ga–P phase diagram. It is discovered that an initial dissolution and crystallization process similar to liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) may happen at sufficiently high temperature, resulting in a graded composition at the interface. Consequently, “parasitic LPE/MBE” is the na...

متن کاملInGaP Makes HBT Reliability a Non-Issue
Among the many benefits InGaP brought to the GaAs-based heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) over the last few years, nothing is more profound than the drastic improvement it provided in the long-term reliability. Today, it is relatively common to obtain activation energies higher than 1.5eV with InGaP HBTs operating under bias and temperature conditions suitable for modern telecommunication...
متن کاملNovel GaAs Metal–Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors with InGaP/GaAs Multiple Quantum Barrier Capping and Buffer Layers
We present a novel GaAs metal–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MESFET) with InGaP/GaAs multiple quantum barrier (MQB) capping and buffer layers. The MQB structure with (29; 6, 5, 7; 8, 8, 1; 6, 5, 7; 29) periodic stacks was designed to increase effective-potential-barrier height. We demonstrate that, by using the InGaP/GaAs MQB capping layer, the gate Schottky barrier performance and gate...
متن کاملAnalysis of HBT Behavior After Strong Electrothermal Stress
245 Abstract—We present two-dimensional simulations of onefinger power InGaP/GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors (HBTs) before and after both electrical and thermal stress aging. It is well known that GaAs-HBTs with InGaP emitter material can be improved with respect to reliability if the emitter material covers the complete p-doped base layer forming outside the active emitter the so-calle...
