Abstract

A permeable base transistor (PBT) with submicron grating is fabricated using a Si/COSi2/Si double heterostructure. The high-quality Si/COSi2/Si double heterostructure is formed by two-step moleculer beam epitaxy (i.e. low-temperature MBE and successive high-temperature MBE). The Si and COSi2 interfaces observed by a cross-sectional transmission electron microscope are smooth and atomically abrupt. A new method of patterning COSi2 films is developed. This method uses the difference in surface energies between different crystal orientations. The mutual conductance and cutoff frequency of the PBT are 50 mS/mm and 6 GHz, respectively. These agree with the results of computer simulations. In addition, computer simulations indicate a potential of Si PBT for high frequency application, and a cutoff frequency as high as 90 GHz can be obtained by optimizing the device structure.
