Popis: Two sets of pnp AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) compatible with planar processing have been fabricated using a dual selective etching technique. Both sets of HBTs have a 300-AA strained InGaAs base; one has a built-in base quasielectric field while the other does not. The presence of a built-in base quasielectric field is shown to greatly reduce the base transit time for pnp transistors. The highest measured f/sub T/ and f/sub max/ are 23.3 GHz and 40 GHz, respectively. These are the highest reported values for pnp HBTs, and it is believed that these are limited by parasitic resistances. >
