Abstract
In this paper for the first time we present results of annealing characteristics of He+-ion implant isolation into InP/InGaAs HBT structures. The maximum bombarded Rsh for all emitter, base and collector contact layers occurred at 350 °C. The collector contact had a Rsh of 8 × 104 ω/sq. It was also observed that the existence of built-in electric field in the E/B and B/C junctions could have enhanced the electron hopping for the bombarded emitter and base regions producing greater damage change as compared to the change in Rsh for the collector layer.
