Abstract

Several μ-bridge structures for InP-based heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) are reported. The radio frequency measurement results of these InP HBTs are compared with each other. The comparison shows that μ-bridge structures reduce the parasites and double μ-bridge structures have a better effect. Due to the utilization of the double μ-bridges, both the cutoff frequency fT and also the maximum oscillation frequency fmax of the 2 × 12.5 μm2 InP/InGaAs HBT reach nearly 160 GHz. The results also show that the μ-bridge has a better effect in increasing the high frequency performance of a narrow emitter InP HBT.
