  • Abstract
    An extremely high-speed InP/InGaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) using a self-alignment technique is described. A cutoff frequency (fτ) of 209 GHz and a maximum oscillation frequency (fmax) of 13 GHz were achieved by using a thin base width of 30 nm and reducing parasitic capacitance and resistance through a self-alignment technique. The maximum current gain was 102 and the collector-emitter breakdown voltage (BVCEO) was 5.2 V
