| Abstract: | The first high power demonstration of an InGaP/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor is presented. Multifinger selfaligned HBTs were tested at 3 GHz. A maximum output power of 2.82 W CW was obtained for a 600 mu m/sup 2/ emitter area device (4.7 mW/ mu m/sup 2/ power density) with an attendant gain of 6.92 dB; simultaneously, the device exhibited 55.2% power added efficiency, 69.1% collector efficiency and 8.0*10/sup 4/ A/cm/sup 2/ emitter current density.<> |
