AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs strained-layer heterojunction bipolar transistors by molecular beam epitaxy

Abstract
The growth and characteristics of the first AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs HBTs are reported. Layers with up to 10% indium content appeared to be free of misfit dislocations, and resulted in HBTs with good I/V characteristics which scaled with In content according to theory.
