摘要: The responsivity characteristics of heterojunction phototransistors (HPTs) with a strained InAs/InGaAs multiquantum well (MQW) absorption layer inserted in the base or collector are investigated. It is shown that although hetero-emitter injects hot electrons into base, effective electron diffusion length MQWs becomes five times lower than without MQWs. This results higher current gain for HPTs collector. In addition, enhanced coefficient due to excitonic observed only on HPT MQW Due these two factors, high more 10 A/W realized at wavelength around 2.35 µm device
