Noise Characteristics

The noise characteristics of InP -based heterostructure bipolar transistors (HBTs) are studied from low frequency to microwave frequency. The nonequilibrium minority carrier transport in the thin base region is very effective in reducing the 1/f noise current at low frequency as well as reducing the uncorrelated shot noise current at high frequency. Experimentally, a very low 1/f noise corner frequency of 1.55 kHz is obtained in AlInAs/InGaAs HBTs with a 70 nm-thick base. This is the lowest 1/f corner frequency amongst any compound semiconductor devices reported to date. Minimum noise figures of 0.46 dB, 2.0 dB and 3.33 dB are also demonstrated at 2 GHz, 10 GHz and 18 GHz, respectively, with InP/InGaAs HBTs with a 35 nm-thick base and 3.5×3.5 μ m 2 emitter.
