Double-mesa type SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) have been improved by increasing the base Gumme1 number and by using a thin, highly doped launcher layer between the base and the collector. In addition] the contact resistance of the base contact has been reduced. Hence, it was possible to obtain a record maximum frequency of oscillation up to 160 GHz for a 2-emitter finger HBT in common emitter configuration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
