| Keywords: HBT, wafer fusion, GaAs, GaN Abstract AlGaAs/GaAs/GaN HBTs have been fabricated by wafer fusion at various fusion temperatures 450 – 550 ºC. The best current gain of ~ 20 was achieved in HBTs fused at 450 ºC for 2 h, and the HBT breakdown voltage was measured to be ~ 35 V (~ 3 times that of the as-grown AlGaAs/GaAs HBTs), a result of mitigation of base degradation and fusion interface barrier. These result indicate that wafer fusion is a promising technique to fabricate high-speed power transistors by combining the superb injector AlGaAs/GaAs and the wide bandgap GaN collector. |
