摘要:
In an epitaxial substrate comprising a bipolar transistor structure having a collector layer (3), base layer (4) and emitter layer (5) on a GaAs substrate (2), the base layer (4) is configured a lower base layer (41) having a required carrier concentration, an upper base layer (42), and a low carrier concentration layer (43) provided between the lower base layer (41) and the upper base layer (42) that has a ballast effect. The lower base layer (41) or the upper base layer (42) may be omitted. The higher the temperature of the low carrier concentration layer (43) portion is, the easier it is for electrons to pass therethrough, which has the effect of raising the amplification factor, thereby helping the transistor heat stability characteristics.

In an epitaxial substrate (20) comprising a collector layer (22), a base layer (23) and an emitter layer (24) formed on a semi-insulating GaAs substrate (21), a hole barrier layer (22C) is provided in the collector layer (22) to prevent influx of holes from the base layer (23), whereby the flow of collector current is suppressed when the collector current density rises and electron velocity is saturated, suppressing thermal runaway of the collector current without a ballast resistance or the like. Also, thermal runaway of the collector current is suppressed by providing an additional layer (2C) for generating, in the conduction band, an electron barrier by means of electrons accumulated in the collector layer (2) when the collector current density rises.
