摘要：
In this study, new SiC-based heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBT) are proposed. An n-type AlN/GaN short-period superlattice (quasi-AlGaN) layer is grown on a SiC pn junction as a widegap emitter. By using quasi-AlGaN emitter, we have demonstrated successful control of band offset of AlGaN/SiC. Quasi-AlGaN/SiC HBT with an Al content over 0.5, which has no potential barrier to electron injection from an n-AlGaN emitter to a p-SiC base, exhibited a common-emitter current gain of beta similar to 2.7, whereas the HBT with an Al content below 0.5 showed beta similar to 0.1.
