InP/GaAsSb/InP multifinger DHBTs for power applications

We report the performances of multifinger GaAsSb/InP double heterojunction bipolar transistors (DHBTs) designed for high power applications. 2-finger 15times1 mum<sup>2</sup> devices demonstrate maximum f<sub>T</sub> of 221 GHz and maximum f<sub>max</sub> of 293 GHz when biased at J<sub>C</sub> = 370 kA/cm<sup>2</sup> and V<sub>CE</sub> = 1.4V. Moreover we investigate the limitation of frequency performances with the number of fingers.
