Abstract
The performance of heterojunction bipolar transistors operating in the avalanche breakdown regime has been evaluated. The analysis shows that AlGaAs/GaAs HBT under avalanche breakdown has higher collector-base junction capacitance, lower Early voltage, higher device noise, lower power efficiency, lower cut-off frequency, reduced device switching speed, and degraded maximum frequency of oscillation.
