Atomfair InP/InGaAs HBT Epitaxial Wafer

Our company supplies gallium arsenide epitaxial materials, including AlGaAs/GaAs, InGaP/GaAs and InP/InGaAs, for manufacturing heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs). HBTs feature emitters, bases and collectors made of materials with different band gaps. Their emitter efficiency mainly depends on band gap differences, barely limited by doping concentration, enabling flexible transistor design.

Description

Epitaxial Structure Characteristics
The InP/InGaAs HBT epitaxial wafer employs optimized material combinations with:

Emitter: Wide-bandgap InP
Base: Narrow-bandgap InGaAs (fully leveraging its superior electronic properties)
Collector: Matched InP/InGaAs structure
Precise lattice matching and thermal expansion coefficient alignment are maintained throughout the epitaxial stack through advanced growth techniques.
