Abstract

In this letter, we report the first demonstration of InGaP/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) on germanium-on-insulator (GOI) substrates. We have performed physical characterization of the epitaxial layers to verify the high quality of the III-V epitaxial material grown on the GOI substrates and performed dc characterization of large-area InGaP/GaAs HBTs fabricated on the substrates. The InGaP/ GaAs HBTs realized on GOI substrates were compared with identical devices grown on bulk germanium substrates and similar devices on semi-insulating GaAs substrates.
