摘要
A common-base four finger InGaAs/InP double heterostructure bipolar transistor (DHBT) has been designed and fabricated using triple mesa structure and planarization technology. All processes are on 3-inch wafers. The area of each emitter finger is 1 × 15 μm2. The maximum oscillation frequency (fmax) is 325 GHz and the breakdown voltage BV_CBO is 10.6 V, which are to our knowledge both the highest fmax and BV_CBo ever reported for InGaAs/InP DHBTs in China. The high speed InGaAs/InP DHBT with a high breakdown voltage is promising for submillimeter-wave and THz electronics.
