摘要
We report high performance npn GaN/InGaN double heterojunction bipolar transistors (DHBTs) that was directly grown on sapphire substrates with high common-emitter current gain (>40) at collector current density (J(C)) > 5 kA/cm(2). A study on the emitter sizing effect shows that the perimeter-dependent recombination current density changes from 1.5x10(-6) to 6.1x10(-4) A/cm as J(C) increases from 5 A/cm(2) to 100 A/cm(2). The fabricated multi-fingered DHBTs show similar surface recombination current density and a current gain of > 23 at J(C) > 100 A/cm(2) is also achieved. (C) 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
