    Abstract: Provided is a heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT), including a collector layer. The collector layer includes a bandgap graded layer. A quasi-electric field generated by the bandgap graded layer will enable electrons in the bandgap graded layer to be accelerated. The bandgap graded layer includes a semiconductor material in which an electron velocity peaks at a certain quasi-electric field strength when an quasi-electric field strength is varied, wherein the certain quasi-electric field strength is referred to as a peak electric field strength. The strength of the quasi-electric field is more than 2 times the peak electric field strength.

    Abstract: Provided is a semiconductor epitaxial wafer, including a substrate, a first epitaxial structure, a first ohmic contact layer and a second epitaxial stack structure. It is characterized in that the ohmic contact layer includes a compound with low nitrogen content, and the ohmic contact layer does not induce significant stress during the crystal growth process. Accordingly, the second epitaxial stack structure formed on the ohmic contact layer can have good epitaxial quality, thereby providing a high-quality semiconductor epitaxial wafer for fabricating a GaAs integrated circuit or a InP integrated circuit. At the same time, the ohmic contact properties of ohmic contact layers are not affected, and the reactants generated during each dry etching process are reduced.

    Abstract: A directed epitaxial heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) structure is directly or indirectly formed on a GaAs substrate that is formed by a (100) face towards a (111)B face with an angle of inclination between 0.6° and 25°, and includes a sub-collector layer, a collector, a base layer, an emitter layer, an emitter cap layer and an ohmic contact layer, which are sequentially formed on the substrate. A tunnel collector layer formed by InGaP or InGaAsP is provided between the collector layer and the base layer. Since an epitaxial process is performed on the substrate from a (100) face towards a (111)B face with an angle of inclination between 0.6° and 25°, indium and gallium contained in InGaP or InGaAsP are affected by the ordering effect such that InGaP or InGaAsP used in the emitter layer and/or the tunnel collector layer has a higher electron affinity or a smaller bandgap.

    Abstract: A high electron mobility bipolar transistor including a substrate, a pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT) sub structure, a sub collector/separating layer and a heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) sub structure sequentially stacked from bottom to top is disclosed. The sub collector/separating layer and the pHEMT sub structure are combined to form a pHEMT, and the sub collector/separating layer and the HBT sub structure are combined to form an HBT. The carbon concentration in the sub collector/separating layer is within 5×1017 cm−3 and 1×1020 cm−3, and/or the oxygen concentration within 5×1018 cm−3 and 1×1020 cm−3. The lattice during the process of epitaxy growth is stabilized and it is possible to prevent the dopants, the elements, the vacancies or the defects from diffusing into the neighboring layers, thereby improving the problem of mobility degradation and resistance increase, and sustaining the stability of the manufacturing process.
