Abstract
We report InP/InGaAs/InP Double Heterojunction Transistors (DHBTs) with high breakdown voltages in a substrate transfer process. A device with a 400 Å thick graded base, a 500 Å chirped superlattice base-collector grade and a 2500 Å thick InP collector exhibits f τ=165 GHz and fmax=300 GHz with breakdown voltage BVCEO=6 V at a current density, Je=1·105 A/cm2. A device with a 400 Å thick graded base, a 500 Å chirped superlattice base-collector grade and a 1500 Å thick InP collector exhibits f τ=215 GHz and fmax=210 GHz with breakdown voltage BVCEO=4 V at a current density, Je=1·105 A/cm2
