A 305–330+ GHz 2:1 Dynamic Frequency Divider Using InP HBTs
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 mW from 4.1 V and 3.3 V supplies.

POWER PERFORMANCE OF InGaAs/InP SINGLE HBTs
Impressive microwave results have been published for both Single(SHBT) and Double(DHBT) Heterostructure Bipolar Transistors based upon the InP material system. InP-based SHBTs have been reported to have excellent high-frequency performances such as unity current-gain frequency (fT) of 200 GHz (1) and maximum oscillation frequency (fmax) of 236 GHz (2). The best results for InP-based DHBTs inclu...
متن کاملComparison of DC High-Frequency Performance of Zinc-Doped and Carbon-Doped InP/InGaAs HBTs Grown by Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition
Zinc and carbon-doped InP/InGaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) with the same design were grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Dc current gain values of 36 and 16 were measured for zinc and carbon-doped HBTs, respectively, and carrier lifetimes were measured by time-resolved photoluminescnce to explain the difference. Transmission line model (TLM) analysis of carb...
متن کاملPOWER PERFORMANCE OF PNP InAlAs/InGaAs HBTs
Recently, small-signal microwave performance has been reported for PNP InAlAs/InGaAs HBTs [1, 2]. While power performance of PNP AlGaAs/GaAs HBTs has been demonstrated [3], nothing has been reported on power performance of PNP HBTs in the InP material system. In this work, InAlAs/InGaAs PNP HBTs were fabricated and subsequently characterized under large signal conditions at X-band to determine ...
متن کاملSubmicron InP-based HBTs for Ultra-high Frequency Ampli ̄ers
Transistor bandwidths are approaching terahertz frequencies. Paramount to high speed transistor operation is submicron device scaling. High bandwidths are obtained with heterojunction bipolar transistors by thinning the base and collector layers, increasing emitter current density, decreasing emitter contact resistivity, and reducing the emitter and collector junction widths. In mesa HBTs, mini...
متن کاملPerformance Optimization of PNP InAlAs/InGaAs HBTs
Recently, microwave performance has been reported for PNP InAlAs/InGaAs HBTs [1]. Although some simulations have been performed for the optimization of GaAs-based PNP HBTs [2], little has been reported on the optimization of PNP HBTs in the InP material system. In this work, various layer structures for InAlAs/InGaAs PNP HBTs were simulated using a 2dimensional drift-diffusion simulator in orde...
