The fabrication and characterization of a new self-aligned HBT utilizing bridged base-electrode technology (BBT) are presented. This new technology simplifies the fabrication process and relaxes the limitations in device size scaling, thus decreasing the emitter size to 1 μm×1 μm. In spite of a large junction periphery area ratio, a good current gain of more than 10 is obtained in an HBT with an emitter size of 1 μm×1 μm. A series of fabricated HBTs shows excellent high-speed performance. The highest values of fT =90 GHz and fmax=63 GHz are obtained in an HBT with an emitter size of 1 μm×5 μm. The realization of HBTs with small emitters and excellent high-frequency characteristics demonstrates the effectiveness of this new technology
