Abstract :
InGaAs/InP double heterostructure bipolar transistors (HBTs) with small-signal current gains β of 90 and breakdown voltages BVCEO in excess of 20 V are reported. Respective ft and fmax values of 32 and 25 GHz were obtained for emitter dimensions of 7 × 10 μm2. An HBT driver circuit is described for optical waveguide modulators and switches that alters the voltage on 5 pF loads by 5.7 V in 260 ps with mean switching currents of 90 mA
