摘要：

A comprehensive study of the device layout effects on thermal resistance in thermally-shunted heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) was completed. The thermal resistance scales linearly with emitter dot diameter for single element HBTs. For multiple emitter element devices, the thermal resistance scales with area. HBTs with dot geometrics have lower thermal impedance than bar HBTs with equivalent emitter area. The thermal resistance of a 200 mu m(2) emitter area device was reduced from 266 degrees C/W to 146 degrees C/W by increasing the shunt thickness from 3 mu m to 20 mu m and placing a thermal shunt landing between the fingers. Also, power-added efficiencies at 10 GHz were improved from 30% to 68% by this thermal resistance reduction. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
