摘要：

This letter presents the first demonstration of a silicon-germanium heterojunction bipolar transistor (SiGe HBT) capable of operation above the one-half terahertz (500 GHz) frequency. An extracted peak unity gain cutoff frequency (f(T)) of 510 GHz at 4.5 K was measured for a 0.12 x 1.0 mu m(2) SiGe HBT (352 GHz at 300 K) at a breakdown voltage BVCEO of 1.36 V (1.47 V at 300 K), yielding an f(T) x BVCEO product of 693.6 GHz-V at 4.5 K (517.4 GHz-V at 300 K).
