Abstract
High-f(max) (> 160 GHz) AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors are developed using power-oriented layer structures and a selfalignme nt fabrication technology characterised by a base-metal overlaid struc ture. The fabricated power transistors tested at 2.6 GHz yield maximum power-added efficiencies of 69 and 60% at low supply voltages of 3 an d 1.5 V, respectively.
