  • Abstract
    A novel device structure to realize high-performance SOI lateral BJTs is presented. A metal-backed single-silicon external base electrode and a simple SOI structure achieve low base resistance and low parasitic capacitances, respectively. Due to the minimal parasitics, the device exhibited an fmax of 62 GHz with a low power dissipation per emitter area of 0.55 mW/μm2
