Abstract :
In addition to an ultrahigh heterojunction bipolar transistor bandwidth, the transferred-substrate process offers the significant advantages of a low parasitic microstrip wiring environment and a low thermal impedance environment. The first digital integrated circuits using this technology, D-flipflops connected as 2:1 static frequency dividers, are reported
