Effects of device design on the thermal properties of InP-based HBTs

The authors study the effects of thermal resistance in InP-based HBTs with different vertical and lateral design. 3D simulations and measurement results illustrate that significant differences in thermal resistance can arise with relatively small changes in device structure. These results also highlight the significant thermal gradients within the transistor.
