480-GHz
in InP/GaAsSb/InP DHBT With New Base Isolation
-Airbridge Design
Self-aligned 0.55×3.5 μm2 emitter InP/GaAsSb/InP double heterojunction bipolar transistors demonstrating an ft of 310 GHz and an fmax of 480 GHz are reported. Common-emitter current gain of 24, together with a breakdown voltage of 4.6 V, is measured. The devices were fabricated with a triple-mesa process and easily fabricated with a new base isolation μ-airbridge design which, moreover, significantly reduced the base-collector capacitance CBC.
