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: Provided is a high ruggedness HBT, including a first emitter cap layer and a second emitter cap layer formed between an emitter layer and an ohmic contact layer, or only an emitter cap layer is formed between them. When the first and second emitter cap layers are provided, bandgaps of the first or second emitter cap layer are changed, and the ruggedness of the HBT is improved. When an emitter cap layer is provided, an electron affinity of at least a portion of the emitter cap layer is less than or approximately equal to an electron affinity of the emitter layer, and the ruggedness of the HBT is improved.
