InAlAs/InGaAs HBTs with simultaneously high values of F/sub /spl tau// and F/sub max/ for mixed analog/digital applications
2001
We report the design, fabrication, and measurement of InAlAs/InGaAs heterostructure bipolar transistors (HBTs) designed for high speed digital circuits. At 0.96 V V/sub CE/ the current gain cutoff frequency, f/sub /spl tau//, is 300 GHz and the maximum frequency of oscillation, f/sub max/, is 235 GHz. This value of f/sub /spl tau//, is the highest reported for bipolar transistors. At a slightly higher V/sub CE/ bias, a high value of 295 GHz for f/sub /spl tau// and f/sub max/ were obtained simultaneously.
