てはエミッタ、ベース。Heterojunction bipolar transistors using compound semiconductors such as Gaps are attracting attention as next-generation high-speed devices. For a heterojunction bipolar transistor, it is essential to form an extremely thin base layer and a high-quality heterojunction, and epitaxial growth techniques such as molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCvD) are currently used. When forming a heterojunction bipolar transistor using a wafer on which semiconductor layers to become the collector, base, and emitter are epitaxially grown, it is necessary to form a contact on the base layer sandwiched between the two semiconductor layers, the collector and emitter. One method for this purpose is to use ion implantation technology to form an external base.In this bipolar transistor, the emitter and base are formed.

When forming the external base by ion implantation, the external base is formed by ion-implanting a first impurity, and the external base is formed by ion-implanting a second impurity.

This will be explained with reference to l to fcl. A semi-insulating substrate 11 has an nfiGaAs layer 12 serving as a collector layer and an n-type GaAs layer.
The layer 13, the pfiGaAs layer 14 that will become the base layer, the n+ type GaAs layer 15 that will become the emitter layer, and the n+ type GaAs layer 16 that will become the cap layer to make it easier to fit the emitter ohmic contact are epitaxially grown by the MBE method.
