  • Abstract
    Single heterojunction bipolar transistors (SHBTs) with cutoff frequencies as high as 520 GHz operating at current densities over 1400 kA/cm2 have been demonstrated. We compare state-of-the-art HBT technologies, focusing on the aspects of scalability and speed, breakdown voltage, thermal properties, and the demands future applications will require from these high-performance devices.
