Abstract :
Carrier lifetime has been measured in carbon doped CBE grown In 0.53Ga0.47As by time resolved luminescence with 3 ps resolution. For doping levels between 3.1018 cm-3 and 7.1019 cm-3, the lifetime varies between 400 and 4 picoseconds. This strong decrease is attributed to Auger recombination and induces a limitation on the DC current gain and the base sheet resistance in heterojunction bipolar transistors
