The epitaxy structure of the LET is very similar to the HBT so that we can operate the LET like a heterojunction phototransistor (HPT). The base, collector and sub-collector layers of a LET are designed to implement the p-i-n photodiode. The LET have the transiever and receiver characteristics, which becomes one of the best candidate of next generation OptoElectric Integrated Circuits (OEIC). In this thesis, we have designd and fabricated the monolithic intergrated light-emitting transistor and heterojunction phototransistor utilizing the optical output and receiver charactrics of the LET. Typcial p-i-n mode current-voltage characteristics have been measured for an HPT with the optical input from the LET. The responsivity of p-i-n photodiode is about 0.1~0.23 A/W, but when operating the HPT at transistor mode the responsivity can be improved to 1.3 A/W. The HPT also can be measured with three-terminal configuration. We found that the current gain of HPT with three-terminal configuration has large improvement with small base current input (1 μA) from 1.35 to 12.3 due to the light absorption. We can still improve the integration of the LET and HPT to enhance the performance. Firstly, we can fabricate wave guide between two devices to increase the coupling coefficient of two devices. Secondly, the LET can be substituted by the transistor laser (TL) due to the larger optical output. Finally, the area of optical window and the absorption litmit can be improved by the epitaxy of material and layout design.誌謝 i 中文摘要 iii ABSTRACT iv 目錄 vi 圖目錄 viii 表目錄 xi 第1章 緒論 1 1.1 背景介紹與目的 1 1.2 論文概述 5 第2章 發光電晶體與光電晶體之基本工作原理 6 2.1 發光電晶體磊晶層介紹 6 2.2 發光電晶體之操作原理 8 2.3 光電晶體基本工作原理 11 2.3.1 簡介 11 2.3.2 光偵測器之吸收機制 11 2.3.3 光電晶體之操作特性 12 2.3.4 光電晶體之響應度(Responsivity)與光學增益(Optical gain) 13 第3章 積體整合發光電晶體與光電晶體之製作與電特性分析 17 3.1 積體整合發光電晶體與光電晶體之製作流程 17 3.2 直流訊號量測儀器介紹與架設 27 3.3 發光電晶體與光電晶體之電輸出特性分析 31 3.3.1 元件佈局介紹 31 3.3.2 電晶體之電輸出特性比較 31 3.3.3 發光電晶體之光輸出特性分析 35 第4章 光電晶體於光注入之光/電特性分析 42 4.1 光電晶體之BC二極體於逆偏下分析 42 4.2 光電晶體之Gummel曲線特性分析 47 4.3 基極浮接之光電晶體光特性分析 52 4.4 三端操作之光電晶體特性分析 58 第5章 論文總結與未來展望 63 5.1 論文回顧 63 5.2 未來展望 64 參考文獻 655697760 bytesapplication/pdf論文公開時間:2019/08/17論文使用權限:同意有償授權(權利金給回饋學校)光電積體整合發光電晶體光電晶體光響應度光電晶體之研製與特性分析應用在光電積體電路Fabrication and Characterization of Heterojunction Bipolar Phototransistors for Opto-electrical Integrated Circuitsthesishttp://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/261903/1/ntu-103-R00941118-1.pdf
