Abstract
Metamorphic HBT and optical PIN diode structures were grown and fabricated and have performances similar to their InP counterparts. Underlying the results, TEM micrographs show that the misfit dislocations generated during metamorphic grading were localized in the buffer layer and that the resultant device layer interfaces were abrupt and planar. Furthermore, metamorphic grading did not result in enhanced beryllium migration in HBT structures. Large M-HBT devices had current gains approaching those of InP HBT devices. M-PIN photodiodes had nearly identical responsivities and bandwidths as InP photodiodes.
