Abstract: We report an InP-InGaAs-InP double heterojunction bipolar transistor (DHBT), fabricated using a conventional triple mesa structure, exhibiting a 370-GHz fT and 459-GHz fmax, which is to our knowledge the highest fT- reported for a mesa InP DHBT--as well as the highest simultaneous fT and fmax for any mesa HBT. The collector semiconductor was undercut to reduce the base-collector capacitance, producing a Ccb/Ic ratio of 0.28 ps/V at Vcb = 0.5 V. The VBR,CEO is 5.6 V and the devices fail thermally only at > 18 mW/μm², allowing dc bias from Je = 4.8 mA/μm² at Vce = 3.9 V to Je = 12.5 mA/μm² at Vce = 1.5 V. The device employs a 30 nm carbon-doped InGaAs base with graded base doping, and an InGaAs-InAlAs superlattice grade in the base-collector junction that contributes to a total depleted collector thickness of 150 nm.
