  • Abstract
    The newly developed thermal-shunt approach for AlGaAs/GaAs microwave power heterojunction bipolar transistors is reviewed from its inception through thermal modeling to fabrication and performance evaluation. Its merits of providing low noise figure and generating high power density at microwave frequency are summarized
