This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The immense demand for communication systems world wide has created an enormous market for semiconductors devices in variegated applications. While scaled CMOS is consolidating its stronghold in the analog and RF domains, the wide gamut of microwave frequencies is being competed for by the various types of III-V heterojunction based semiconductor devices, which were made amenable to high-volume production, thanks to rapid improvements in bulk-processing and fabrication techniques in the last decade. Among these devices, the quest for faster, more powerful and low cost transistors has led researchers to investigate innovative topologies. The availability of powerful CAD tools that incorporate the most intricate physical phenomenon in the modeling process has provided a much needed impetus to this ongoing research. Of the scores of disparate devices that have been investigated, Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors (HBTs) have carved a niche for themselves owing to their high speeds and greater power handling capabilities. In this work, the design of an innovative HBT with a collector-up topology, i.e., with the collector situated on top of the device and emitter on the substrate side, is carried out and optimized for maximizing the high frequency performance. The material system used here is Ga x In 1-x P/GaAs (with x=0.51 indicating lattice matched composition), which has relatively superior material properties and etching characteristics than the conventional Al x Ga 1 -xAs/GaAs material system. The material properties of the ternary were investigated and the most suitable values were ascertained through meticulous research. These parameters, along with the mobility models (that were derived by investigating published results), were made compatible to an emitter-up HBT and incorporated into a two dimensional, physically-based, numerical simulator called ATLAS by Silvaco Inc. The motive was to verify the correctness of the material parameters and models derived. The simulation results compared favorably with the published results. With these verified material parameters and mobility models, a collector-up GaInP/GaAs HBT structure with unetched extrinsic emitter was simulated. After a performance appraisal with the emitter-up structure, the impact of having an undercut in the extrinsic base region was investigated. It was found that this undercut drastically improved the high frequency performance as well as DC characteristics of the collector-up structure. This was documented by a significant increase in cutoff frequency (f T) from 109 GHz to 140 GHz. It was even more pronounced in maximum frequency of oscillation (f max), which is more practically useful than cutoff frequency, from 76 GHz to 233 GHz. These simulation results are much better than the practically experimented values. The high frequency parametric values described here were achieved after scrupulously optimizing the collector-up HBT structure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gallium Arsenide technology has come of age. GaAs integrated circuits are available today as gate arrays with an operating speed in excess of one Gigabits per second. Special purpose GaAs circuits are used in optical fiber digital communications systems for the purpose of regeneration, multiplexing and switching of the optical signals. As advances in fabrication and packaging techniques are made, the operat ing speed will further increase and the cost of production will reach a point where large scale application of GaAs circuits will be economical in these and other systems where speed is paramount. This book is written for students and engineers who wish to enter into this new field of electronics for the first time and who wish to embark on a serious study of the subject of GaAs circuit design. No prior knowledge of GaAs technology is assumed though some previous experience with MOS circuit design will be helpful. A good part of the book is devoted to circuit analysis, to the extent that is possible for non linear circuits. The circuit model of the GaAs transistor is derived from first principles and analytic formulas useful in predicting the approxi mate circuit performance are also derived. Computer simulation is used throughout the book to show the expected performance and to study the effects of parameter variations.

This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The semiconductor industry is a fundamental building block of the new economy, there is no area of modern life untouched by the progress of nanoelectronics. The electronic chip is becoming an ever-increasing portion of system solutions, starting initially from less than 5% in the 1970 microcomputer era, to more than 60% of the final cost of a mobile telephone, 50% of the price of a personal computer (representing nearly 100% of the functionalities) and 30% of the price of a monitor in the early 2000's. Interest in utilizing the (sub-)mm-wave frequency spectrum for commercial and research applications has also been steadily increasing. Such applications, which constitute a diverse but sizeable future market, span a large variety of areas such as health, material science, mass transit, industrial automation, communications, and space exploration. Silicon-Germanium Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors for mm-Wave Systems Technology, Modeling and Circuit Applications provides an overview of results of the DOTSEVEN EU research project, and as such focusses on key material developments for mm-Wave Device Technology. It starts with the motivation at the beginning of the project and a summary of its major achievements. The subsequent chapters provide a detailed description of the obtained research results in the various areas of process development, device simulation, compact device modeling, experimental characterization, reliability, (sub-)mm-wave circuit design and systems.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The In$\rm\sb{0.5}Ga\sb{0.5}$P/GaAs materials system has been investigated for use in heterojunction bipolar transistor applications. This material possesses several properties which make it attractive as a potential replacement for AlGaAs as the wide band gap emitter material. These properties include the availability of highly selective etches, an energy band alignment favorable for high injection efficiency devices, and the absence of DX centers. A comparison of the dc characteristics of MOCVD-grown, Npn In$\rm\sb{0.5}Ga\sb{0.5}$P/GaAs single- and double-heterojunction bipolar transistors (SHBTs and DHBTs, respectively) with carbon-doped bases is presented. A base doping level of 2.5 $\times$ 10$\sp{19}$ cm$\sp{-3}$ was employed in both device structures, resulting in a base sheet resistance of 500 $\Omega$/sq. Common-emitter current gains as high as 210 and 150 were measured for the SHBTs and DHBTs respectively. Results of a dc performance optimization study indicate that a 15 to 25 A undoped setback layer at the emitter-base junction provides optimal common-emitter current gain. The DHBTs exhibited a 40% improvement in common-base breakdown voltage compared to SHBTs (25 V versus 18 V), indicating that In$\rm\sb{0.5}Ga\sb{0.5}$P/GaAs DHBTs may prove suitable for power device applications. Details concerning the design and development of a high-frequency HBT process utilizing this materials system are also given. A unity current gain cutoff frequency, $f\sb{t}$, of 14.6 GHz was obtained for a double heterojunction In$\rm\sb{0.5}Ga\sb{0.5}$P/GaAs HBT. This device featured a 1 $\mu$m In$\rm\sb{0.5}Ga\sb{0.5}$P collector region and exhibited common-base breakdown voltage $BV\sb{CBO}$ of 45 V. The high-frequency device characteristics of the DHBTs are presented, and an estimation of the high-field electron velocity for n-type In$\rm\sb{0.5}Ga\sb{0.5}$P is determined from the results.
