摘要：
A comparison of the effects of H-2 and D-2 plasmas on the dc characteristics of AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors showed a strong influence of exposure time, ion flux and ion energy on the forward and reverse junction current-voltage (I-V) characteristics, base resistance and emitter-base junction breakdown voltage and ideality factor. The results are quite different than those observed with N-2 or Ar plasma exposure of similar devices and show that passivation of the carbon acceptors in the base layer is a major problem with processes such as plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition of SiNx or SiO2 sidewall space layers during HBT fabrication.
