Abstract

Several recent advances have been made in the development of a high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) and heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) in the InAs, AlSb, and GaSb material system. Research has led to the development of the technology to manufacture AlSb/InAs HEMTS on a large scale. Along with this work, improvements have been made in the device operation. The power dissipation of the AlSb/InAs HEMTs has been found to be as little as one fifth that of an InAlAs/InGaAs HEMT operating at equivalent frequencies. An HBT with a p-type InGaSb base with a 0.5 eV bandgap has recently been made. The collector and emitter are made of n-type InAlAsSb alloys. The small bandgap of the base is an important ingredient in developing an HBT that operates at low bias, and therefore low power dissipation.
