Abstract
We describe MOVPE-grown InP/InGaAs DHBTs with a 150-nm-thick collector. The collector current blocking at the base/collector heterointerface is perfectly suppressed by the compositionally step-graded structure even at collector current density of over 1000 kA/cm/sup 2/. A cut-off frequency f/sub T/ of 341 GHz is obtained at high collector current density of 833 kA/cm/sup 2/ with practical on-state breakdown characteristics. This is the highest f/sub T/ every reported for any bipolar transistors.
