- B boron
- S i G ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 1 0 0 of this embodiment has substantially the same cross-sectional structure as the conventional S i G ⁇ ⁇ H B T 1 0 0 0.
- the n-type emitter layer 5 a is different from the conventional S i G ⁇ H B T 1 00. This is explained below.
- FIG. 2 is a view showing a G-port file and an impurity profile of S i G-HBT 100 in the direction along the I ridge line shown in FIG.
- the horizontal axis represents the depth from the upper surface of the ⁇ -type emitter layer 7, and the vertical axis represents the Ge composition ratio (%) and the impurity concentration (atoms-cm " 3 ).
- the emitter-side end A and the base-side end B of the depletion layer to be formed are shown.
- Ge is a collector side from the emitter side. It is an inclined profile that gradually increases towards the side. Specifically, the Ge composition ratio increases from 15% to 27% in the p-type base layer 4 and is constant at 15% near the base-emitter junction. Comparing FIG. 2 with FIG. 10, it can be seen that in the case of S e G e ⁇ H B T 10 0 of this embodiment, G ⁇ is deeply distributed on the emitter side.
- Both of the end portions A and B of the depletion layer formed near the base-emitter junction are distributed in a region where the Ge composition ratio is constant (15%). That is, the depletion layer formed near the beam emitter junction is formed only inside the n-type emitter layer 5 a.
- the neutral region N formed on the emitter side by the base emitter junction also has a constant Ge composition ratio (15% It is distributed in the region of (ie, n-type emitter layer 5 a) This will be explained with reference to FIG.
- Fig. 3 shows the band profile and carrier concentration profile of Si G e-HBT with a portion consisting of Si G e semiconductor with a Ge composition ratio of 15% in the emitter layer near the junction with the base layer.
- E c is the lower end of the conductor and E V is the upper end of the valence band.
- the S ⁇ G e semiconductor has a narrower band gap, and the difference in band gap between the S i G ⁇ semiconductor and the S i semiconductor is the circle in FIG. It appears in the valence band as shown in C 1. Therefore, as shown by the circle G 2 in FIG. 3, the density of holes in the portion composed of the Si G ⁇ semiconductor of the emitter layer is high. That is, holes are likely to be accumulated in the portion of the emitter layer made of Si G S semiconductor.
- S i G ⁇ -HBT 100 of this embodiment contains 15% of Ge, it is compared with the n-type emitter layer 6a of Si semiconductor.
- the valence band of the n-type emitter layer 5 a is raised. Therefore, in the n-type emitter layer 5a, a neutral region (region N in FIG. 2) in which holes are easily accumulated is formed.
- the neutral region N has a narrow band gap and a hole having a small number of carriers. Because of the high density of carriers, the probability of carrier recombination increases. Therefore, in the S i G ⁇ -HBT 100 of the present embodiment, the conventional S i G ⁇ -H Under the same operating conditions as BT 1000, the base current increases.
- FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the relationship between the base current and the thickness of the n-type emitter layer 5 a in S i G ⁇ H B T 100 according to the present embodiment.
- the horizontal axis represents the depth at S i G e -H B T 100 in the direction along the I-I line shown in FIG. 1, with the base-emitter junction as the origin.
- the vertical axis represents the base current and the Ge composition ratio.
- a schematic drawing of the impurity profiles of boron (B) and phosphorus (P) is also shown.
- Fig. 4 shows that the Ge composition of the semiconductor layer consisting of Si g ⁇ ⁇ constituting the NOD spacer 3 layer, the p-type base layer 4 and the n-type emitter layer 5 a is from the base-emitter junction to the base side.
- the thickness of the constant region is 10 r> m, and the thickness from the base emitter junction surface to the lower surface of the n emitter emitter layer 7 is fixed at 20 nm, and the n emitter emitter layer 5 a and The film thickness with the n-type emitter layer 6 a is 0 nmz 2 0 nm (a in the figure), 5 nmz 15 nm (b in the figure), 1 0 nmz 10 nm (c in the figure) It is the result of comparing the base current by changing it to 15 nm / 5 nm (d in the figure).
- the thickness of the portion where the Ge composition of the semiconductor layer made of Si G is constant is 5 nm
- the film thickness of the semiconductor layer made of Si constituting the n-type emitter layer 6 a is 25 nm.
- Poron (B) is are about 3 X 1 0 1 9 atoms ⁇ c m_ 3 was de one-flop during the growth of the semiconductor layer made of S i G e.
- the base current increases as the thickness of the n-type emitter layer 5a increases, as compared to the case where the n-type emitter layer 5a is not formed.
- the increase rate becomes large. This is due to the increased recombination current due to the inclusion of the neutral region in the n-type emitter layer 5 a at the above thickness.
- the base voltage is 0.7 V and the collector voltage is 1.5 V, the effect is obtained when the base current per 1 m 2 of the emitter area is 0 ⁇ 3 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 6 A or more. appear.
- base current and current gain (hf ⁇ ) of a bipolar transistor using polycrystalline silicon as an emitter may be improved by surface treatment prior to polycrystalline silicon formation. Therefore, the field of polycrystalline silicon of the emitter The cause is believed to be due to the presence of oxides and other impurities formed on the surface, but the cause is not completely clear. Therefore, it is considered difficult to control the base current and current gain (hfe) with higher accuracy than before.
- the value of the variation of the base current due to the current manufacturing process of the transistor to be manufactured is relatively close to the value of the base current itself flowing by the intrinsic semiconductor portion. For this reason, according to the present embodiment, if the base current is increased, the variation with respect to the value of the base current itself becomes inconspicuous. That is, variations in base current can be reduced. Of course, the variation in current gain (h f e) can also be reduced.
- the variation of the collector current is also small in S i G ⁇ ⁇ H B T 100 of the present embodiment, so the variation of the current gain (h f ⁇ ) can be further reduced.
- S i G ⁇ ⁇ H B T 100 of this embodiment since the base-emitter junction is formed in the Si G ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ semiconductor with a small band gap, a low base voltage can be used as the on voltage. Therefore, S i G ⁇ ⁇ H B T 1 0 0 of this embodiment can operate at low voltage and is also suitable for a low power consumption circuit.
- the HBTs of the Si semiconductor and the Si G semiconductor are described as an example, but other semiconductor materials such as Si G semiconductor and Si semiconductor may be combined to obtain similar energy. Similar effects can be obtained even if the band structure is formed.
- the S i G ⁇ C layer is formed by crystal growth under an ultra-high vacuum back pressure of not more than 10 ' 8 Torr using an ultra-high vacuum chemical vapor deposition apparatus (UHV-CVD apparatus).
- UHV-CVD apparatus ultra-high vacuum chemical vapor deposition apparatus
- the gas for example, 3 1 2! "1 6 gas, raw material to G eh gas G e, using the S i H 3 CH 3 gas as C ingredients as 5! ingredients.
- n-type emitter layer 5 a is preferably 5%, for example, but the composition ratio as high as 15% shown in this embodiment is preferable because the accumulation of holes is larger. I'm sorry. In particular, if the Ge composition ratio of the n-type emitter layer 5 a is 7% or more, the recombination current is significantly increased.
- FIG. 5 is a view showing the oxygen content concentration dependency of the carrier lifetime in the Si G semiconductor when the Ge composition ratio is 15% to 30%. Containing oxygen shortens the lifetime of the carrier.
- the method of adding oxygen to the ⁇ -type emitter layer 5a is a semiconductor layer consisting of Si G i which forms the non-doped bussing layer 3, the p-type base layer 4 and the n-type emitter layer 5a. And then inject oxygen. Further, O 2 gas may be added at the time of crystal growth of the semiconductor layer made of Si G e.
- the semiconductor layer consisting of Si G ⁇ ⁇ forming the non-doped spacer layer 3, the p-type base layer 4 and the n-type emitter layer 5 a is made of a Si G ⁇ C semiconductor instead of Si G ⁇ . Even if it is formed, the recombination center due to the interstitial force is formed in the n-type emitter layer 5a, and the carrier lifetime can be shortened. Therefore, the recombination current can be promoted to further reduce the variation of the base current and the current gain (hf ⁇ ).
- FIG. 6 shows that in the Si G e-HBT 100 of the present embodiment, the non-first spacer layer 3 and the p-type base layer 4 are formed in the semiconductor layer made of Si G e C.
- FIG. 16 is a graph showing the carbon composition dependency of the base current when Si G e C—HBT is used.
- the force-to-bond composition is increased in the range of 0.2 ⁇ 1 ⁇ 2 to 0.8%, the base current due to the recombination current is increased.
- a semiconductor layer consisting of S i G ⁇ ⁇ constituting non-doped spacer layer 3, p-type base layer 4 and n-type emitter layer 5 a is formed using S i C semiconductor instead of S i G ⁇ Even in this case, recombination centers due to interstitial carbon are formed in the n-type emitter layer 5a, and the carrier lifetime can be shortened.
