摘要
We describe the realization of ternary base InP/Ga(As,Sb) DHBTs, where the grading is implemented by ramping the base As/Sb composition ratio from the collector to the emitter side: this enables a cutoff frequency f(T) of 603 GHz at room temperature with a breakdown voltage BV(CEO) = 4.2 V, for a record f(T) x BV(CEO) product of 2.53 THz-V. Device performance improves further with cooling to reach f(T) > 700 GHz with BV(CEO) = 4.4 V at 5 K. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the highest f(T) ever reported for a DHBT of any kind The f(T) x BV(CEO) > 3. 10 THz-V at 5 K is also unprecedented.
