The influence of delta doping sheet at base-emitter (BE) junction for an InGaP/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) with a 75Å undoped spacer layer is investigated. A common emitter current gain of 235, an offset voltage as small as 50mV and an Ic ideal factor of 1.01 are obtained, respectively. The use of delta doping sheet at BE junction results in a high gain and low offset voltage HBT. The improvement of current gain and offset voltage may be attributed to the reduction of BE potential spike by introducing a delta doping layer even without the BE junction passivation.

In this article, a novel InGaP/GaAs pnp δ-doped heterojunction bipolar transistor is first demonstrated. Though the valence band discontinuity at InGaP/GaAs heterojunction is relatively large, the addition of a δ-doped sheet between two spacer layers at the emitter-base junction effectively eliminates the potential spike and increases the confined barrier for electrons, simultaneously. Experimentally, a high current gain of 25 and an offset voltage of 100 mV are achieved. The offset voltage is much smaller than the conventional InGaP/GaAs pnp HBT. The proposed device could be used for linear amplifiers and low-power complementary integrated circuit applications.
