            Abstract : 
InP/InGaAs single heterojunction bipolar transistors (SHBTs) have been fabricated using a highly doped InAs emitter cap for a 50% reduction in emitter resistance to allow aggressive lateral scaling to increase fMAX. Type I InP SHBTs have been fabricated with 0.25 μm emitter widths and achieve fMAX values as high as 478 GHz on a laterally scaled LE=1 μm device, and maintain breakdown voltages greater than 4 V.
