摘要
InP/In0.53Ga0.47As/InP double heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) were grown on GaAs substrates. A 140 GHz power-gain cutoff frequency f(max) and a 207 GHz current-gain cutoff frequency f(tau) were obtained, presently the highest reported values for metamorphic HBTs. The breakdown voltage BVCEO was 5.5 V, while the dc current gain beta was 76. High-thermal-conductivity InP metamorphic buffer layers were employed in order to minimize the device-thermal resistance.
