HBT vs HEMT | difference between HBT and HEMT
This page compares HBT vs HEMT and describes difference between HBT and HEMT.
HBT-Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor
• Full Form: Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor
• Construction: It is BJT which utilizes diffusing semiconductor materials for Base and Emitter parts.
This creates heterojunction. The figure-1 depicts internal HBT structure.
• HBTs are made using InP or InGaAs materials.
• HBT handles high frequency signals in several 100GHz range.
• Applications: Fast switching RF circuits, high power efficient devices such as PAs used in mobile phones.
They are also used in monolithic optical ICs such as PIN based photo detector.
HEMT-High Electron Mobility Transistor
• Full form: High Electron Mobility Transistor
• Construction: The figure-2 depicts internal HEMT structure. It is a FET which
incorporates junction between materials with different gaps i.e. heterojunction.
It incorporates band gaps as channels instead of doped region
which is done in MOSFET design.
• Materials: GaAs, AlGaAs, InGaAs
• Applications: Used at very high frequencies such as
millimeter wave bands, ON-OFF digital switches, low power amplifiers, satellite receivers etc.
• Advantages: Higher Gain, Higher Switching Speed, Low Noise
