    摘要: A base layer interposed between an n-type GaAs collector layer and an n-type AlGaAs emitter layer is composed of a p-type InAlGaAs. From a collector/base interface to an emitter/base interface, an InAs composition of the base layer is decreased and a concentration of carbon as a p-type impurity thereof is increased so as to obtain a built-in internal field intensity in the base layer by a cooperative effect of the graded-bandgap and the impurity concentration gradient, thus reducing a base transit time of electrons. The base layer is fabricated according to MOMBE using TMG as a gallium source, controlling the InAs composition, so that a desired carbon concentration gradient is automatically formed. Thereby, a high performance, heterojunction bipolar transistor with an increased built-in internal field intensity in the base layer is obtained.

    摘要: A solid-state imaging apparatus includes a plurality of unit pixels with associated microlenses arranged in a two-dimensional array. Each microlens includes a distributed index lens with a modulated effective refractive index distribution obtained by including a combination of a plurality of patterns having a concentric structure, the plurality of patterns being divided into line widths equal to or shorter than a wavelength of an incident light. At least one of the plurality of patterns includes a lower light-transmitting film having the concentric structure and a first line width and a first film thickness, and an upper light-transmitting film having the concentric structure configured on the lower light-transmitting film having a second line width and a second film thickness. The distributed index lens has a structure in which a refractive index material is dense at a center and becomes sparse gradually toward an outer side in the concentric structure.
