Abstract
Two-dimensional simulation of cutoff frequency (fτ) characteristics in collector-up AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors is performed for various collector widths and different base-electrode positions. By putting the base electrode closer to the intrinsic collector, the degradation in fτ resulting from the so-called carrier-blocking effect is shown to be suppressed
