  • Abstract
    We present the results of measurements of the thermal resistivity of InP-based HBTs with cutoff frequencies, ft ∼200 GHz and with fmax over 300 GHz. The measurements were on full-thickness 3" InP wafers at Tamb from 30 - 210°C and three separate emitter current densities. We present data on three device sizes and two device layouts and discuss the relationship of Vbe to temperature at these elevated power and temperature levels.
