摘要
介绍了GaAs异质结双极型晶体管(HBT)的Kink效应及其对宽带匹配的影响,并根据负反馈原理,提出了一种新型的HBT复合管结构。通过对该结构进行小信号分析和计算机软件仿真,该复合晶体管在整个测试频段内输出阻抗接近于一个简单的RC串联电路,并且输出电阻在很宽的频率范围内保持稳定。采用2μm InGaP/GaAs HBT半导体工艺技术流片测试,结果表明,在0.1-20 GHz(接近该HBT的截止频率)的频率范围内所提出的新型HBT复合管抑制了Kink效应并与理论分析结果及计算机仿真结果相吻合。采用该复合管作为宽带放大器的有源器件可以在很大程度上简化匹配电路的设计并且不会显著增加芯片面积和功耗。
The Kink phenomenon and its effect on broad band matching are introduced and analyzed,and a novel composite HBT basing on the principle of negative feedback is proposed.According to the small signal analysis and the computer software simulation,the output impedance of a composite transistor could be represented by a "shifted" series RC circuit,and keep a constant value.A test die chip using 2 μm InGaP/GaAs HBT technology was fabricated.The measurement shows that the new composite HBT structure is able to eliminate the Kink phenomenon over a very broad band from 0.1 GHz to 20 GHz(nearly reaches this HBT's cutoff frequency).Furthermore,the measurement is quite close to the results from theoretical analysis and the computers simulation.In a word,the composite transistor structure can simplify the design of a broadband amplifier.Besides,the increase of chip area and power consumption is negligible.
