Abstract

AbstractIn this work, the effect of emitter layer thickness variation on the frequency performance of GeSn heterojunction phototransistors (HPTs) is studied. Various characteristics parameters such as capacitance and transit time with respect to the emitter layer thickness (\({t}_{E}\)) are calculated over the surface of the GeSn/Ge HPT. In addition, we have also calculated the cut-off frequency (\({f}_{T}\)) and maximum frequency (\({f}_{max}\)) with respect to the \({t}_{E}\) of GeSn/Ge HPT. The calculated results show that the proposed device exhibits excellent \({f}_{T}\) > 16 GHz and > \({f}_{max}\)90 GHz for \({t}_{E}=100 \mathrm{nm}\).KeywordsCut-off frequencyGeSn HPTJunction capacitanceTransit time
