摘要
We report an InP/InGaAs/InP double heterojunction bipolar transistor (DHBT), fabricated using a mesa structure, exhibiting 282 GHz f(tau) and 400 GHz f(max). The DHBT employs a 30 nm InGaAs base with carbon doping graded from 8 . 10(19)/cm(3) to 5 . 10(19)/cm(3), an InP collector, and an InGaAs/InAlAs base-collector superlattice grade, with a total 217 nm collector depletion layer thickness. The low base sheet (580 Omega) and contact (<10 Omega-mu m(2)) resistivities are in part responsible for the high f(max) observed.
