Abstract This paper presents the fabrication and experimental results of a bipolar transistor with self-aligned T-shaped electrode structure. The transistor with 0. 4μm spacing between emitter and base contact and 4μm emitter-emitter pitch has been fabricated. It is shown that the transistor has 3W CW output power with 8dB gain and 40% collector efficiency at 4. 2 GHz. For oscillation application, the oscillation power output and the DC-RF coversion efficiency of this transistor at 4. 3 GHz are up to 1W and 20%, respectively.
