Abstract
Computed thermal impedances of thermally-shunted HBTs with 2 to 4 fing ers are compared with measurements, and several different HBT thermal designs are explored. To minimize self heating by adjacent elements, e ither the thermal shunt must be very thick or a flip-chip sink should be used. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
