  • Abstract
    A novel p--n- collector design is presented for InP/InGaAs heterostructure bipolar transistors (HBTs). It shows a speed advantage over conventional n- collector designs without at the same time being handicapped in terms of breakdown voltage as would normally be the case of traditional special collector designs. The speed and breakdown-speed tradeoff superiority of the p--n- HBT over the conventional designs are shown and discussed theoretically and experimentally
