  • Abstract
    High performance selfaligned InGaP/GaAs HBTs are reported. SIMS and TEM analysis indicate the presence of clean and abrupt InGaP/GaAs interfaces which are reflected in excellent DC performance. Using a base layer with a sheet resistance of 135 Omega / Square Operator , a DC current gain of 25 was obtained for 2*5 mu m2 devices. Both cutoff frequency ft and maximum frequency of oscillation fmax are measured above 70 GHz. These are the highest values yet reported for HBTs containing InGaP.
