Capability requirements and tolerances
Consumer-specific numerical targets, quantities and acceptance limits remain open or incompletely reviewed. No smartphone-grade suitability is claimed. Distinct capability tiers require their own making route and qualification.

Making outline
- Choose one HBT layer architecture with GaAs collector/base and InGaP emitter; dopant identities and quantitative sequence remain open.
- Load substrate and grow controlled epitaxial layers in earlier reactor.
- Characterize material and witness devices before patterned wafer processing.
What remains unresolved
- Required Ga/As/In/P epitaxial source chemicals are the explicit hbt-epitaxy-source-set physical feed frontier; constituents need canonical making records next.
- Full inventory, quantities, losses, capability compatibility and acceptance remain unreviewed.
