چکیده

The need for higher performance electronics for space and defense applications has driven the development of InP heterojunction technologies. For the past 10 years, TRW has been developing InP HBT and HEMT technologies for mission critical applications [1– 3]. Consistent and continuous improvements in the basic MBE structure and process technology have enhanced device and circuit performance, producibility, and reliability such that InP is being successfully used for many space and defense applications. At TRW we have established an InP HBT high yield and manufacturable production process. The production capability of InP technologies is dependent on three core capabilities: stable epitaxial material, stable frontside process, and stable backside process.

InP HBT Production Technology for 100 Gbps Lightwave Communications

InP HBT technology appears to offer the high speed, low power and basic producibility necessary to support a high-speed digital IC technology. Maximum clock speed of 53 GHz has been demonstrated at 40 mW per flip-flop (FF) as compared to well over 200 mW/FF for SiGe at slower speeds. At a power dissipation of less than 9 mW/FF, toggle rate is still a respectable 35 GHz. Producibility and high s...

Performance comparison of state-of-the-art heterojunction bipolar devices (HBT) based on AlGaAs/GaAs, Si/SiGe and InGaAs/InP

This paper presents a comprehensive comparison of three state-of-the-art heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs); the AlGaAs/GaAs HBT, the Si/SiGe HBT and the InGaAs/InP HBT. Our aim in this paper is to find the potentials and limitations of these devices and analyze them under common Figure of Merit (FOM) definitions as well as to make a meaningful comparison which is necessary for a technol...

A 305–330+ GHz 2:1 Dynamic Frequency Divider Using InP HBTs

This letter presents an inductor-loaded 2:1 regenerative frequency divider operating up to 331.2 GHz in an InP HBT process, which, to the best of authors’ knowledge, is the fastest frequency divider reported thus far. On-wafer measurement shows that the divider is operating from 304.8 GHz to 331.2 GHz, with output power from 27 dBm to 12.3 dBm (no probe loss correction), while dissipating 85.5 ...
