Abstract
The present invention realizes a heterobipolar transistor using a SiGeC base layer in order to improve its electric characteristics. Specifically, the distribution of carbon and boron within the base layer is controlled so that the concentration of boron is higher than the concentration of carbon on the side bordering on the emitter layer, and upon the formation of the emitter layer, both boron and carbon are dispersed into a portion of the emitter layer that comes into contact with the base layer.
Claims1
A heterobipolar transistor comprising:
- an n-type silicon collector layer;
- a base layer formed on said n-type silicon collector layer and made of a p-type SiGeC mixed crystal layer doped with boron;
- a cap layer formed on said base layer and made of silicon doped with boron, said cap layer containing an n-type dopant impurity at a concentration exceeding a concentration of boron;
- and
- an n-type silicon emitter layer formed on the cap layer and containing boron at a concentration exceeding 7×1017 cm−3.
