  • Abstract
    InP/In0.53Ga0.47As/InP double heterojunction bipolar transistors were grown on GaAs substrates using a high-thermal-conductivity InP metamorphic buffer layer. 200 GHz fmax were obtained. This fmax is the highest reported for a metamorphic HBT The breakdown voltage BVCEO was 6 V and the DC current gain β was 27. The base-collector reverse leakage current was 54 nA at VCB = 0.3 V.
