Improved InGaAs/InP DHBT technology for 40 Gbit/s optical communication circuits

Improved technologies and design methodologies are required to address the needs of very high speed ICs for over 40 Gbit/s optical communications. We describe such improvements for our InP DHBT technology, for our design methodology, and show how it results in improved circuit designs.
