  • Patent number: 6031256
    Abstract: Structure of a wide voltage operation regime double heterojunction bipolar transistor, specifically a modified InGaP/GaAs double heterojunction bipolar transistor featuring a very broad collector-emitter voltage operation range, an invention of high speed, low power consumption and high breakdown voltage rated microwave power transistor. Unique in the incorporation of In.sub.0.49 Ga.sub.0.51 P collector layer, GaAs delta-doping sheet and undoped GaAs spacer in the collector zone. The introduction of a spacer with a delta doping sheet into the effective base-collector heterojunction serves to eliminate potential spike from appearing at base-collector interfacing any more, thus effectively precludes electron blocking effect. In the emitter zone the inventive design comprises a five-period In.sub.0.49 Ga.sub.0.
