Abstract

The formation of high resistivity (> 107 Ω□) regions in GaAs-AlGaAs HBT and SEED structures by oxygen and hydrogen ion implantation is described. Multiple energy implants in the dose range 1013 cm−3 (for O+) and 1015 cm−2 (for H+), followed by annealing around 500°C are necessary to isolate structures ∼2 μm thick. In each case, the evolution of the sheet resistance of the implanted material with annealing is consistent with a reduction in hopping probabilities of trapped carriers between deep level states for temperatures up to ∼600°C, followed by significant annealing of these deep levels. A comparison of the relative thermal stability of O+ or H+ ion implantisolated p+ material is given. Small geometry (2 × 9 μm2) HBTs exhibiting current gain of 44 and cut-off frequency fT as high as 45 GHz are demonstrated using implant isolation.
