Abstract
An MOCVD-grown InP/InGaAs double-heterojunction bipolar transistor with a step-graded InGaAsP collector is described. This transistor allows high injection current densities over 2.9*105 A/cm2, which suggests no significant current blocking related to the wide-gap InP layers. A cutoff frequency of 155 GHz and a maximum oscillation frequency of 90 GHz are obtained at the collector current density of 1.6*105 A/cm2.
