  • Abstract
    The first fabrication and RF characterisation of an InGaP/GaAs double heterojunction bipolar transistor in collector-up configuration is reported. Boron implantation is used to avoid electron injection into the extrinsic base regions. The InGaP collector offers fmax=115 GHz and a high breakdown voltage (BVceo=27V)
