Abstract

This paper reports the characteristics of InP/InGaAs heterojunction phototransistors (HPTs) in which light is incident through the substrate. These HPTs have a base terminal and a non-alloyed emitter metal reflector that increases the quantum efficiency to 37% regardless of the thin base and collector light-absorbing layers. An optical gain of more than 70 and an optical gain cutoff frequency (fc) of 22 GHz are obtained at the 3×3 μm2 emitter HPT. This HPT has the capability of operating as a high speed heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) at the same time. A current gain cutoff frequency (fT) of 128 GHz is obtained for HBTs fabricated on the same wafer.
