摘要
We report GaN/In0.03Ga0.97N npn double heterojunction bipolar transistors (DHBTs) grown on sapphire substrates for high power applications. High current gain and high power density are obtained using a simple single-growth mesa etching process. A device with an emitter area (A(E)) of 20x20 mu m(2) achieves a peak d.c. current gain (beta) of 84, a maximum collector current density (J(C)) of 7.2 kA/cm(2) and a maximum power density > 240 kW/cm(2). A large-area (A(E) = 12163 mu m(2)) multi-finger device also shows a peak beta = 30, maximum collector current (I-c) = 200 mA and maximum d.c. power = 3.76 W. These values are among the best for the reported III-N HBTs to date. (C) 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
