The 44 GHz fundamental VCO delivers a typical differential output power of +4 dBm at a center frequency of 44 GHz with a tuning range of up to 4.5 GHz. The measured phase noise shows better than -100 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset and better than -80 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset. We have achieved more than 6 dB improvement in phase noise performance over the differential SHBT VCO results that we reported last year (A. Kurdoghlian et al., IEEE GaAs IC Symp.

Fujihara et al., IEDM Tech. Dig., 2001; M. Ida et al., ibid., 2001.). However to our knowledge there have been few reports on the reproducibility, yield and robustness of these types of devices. For successful implementation of these devices in high speed ICs, in addition to high f/sub T/ and f/sub max/, a useful DHBT technology also needs to achieve low turn-on voltage V/sub ce,sat/, low knee voltage V/sub k/, high breakdown voltages BVCEO, BVCBO, and on-state breakdown voltage. Furthermore, excellent device yield, high circuit-performance and uniformity are required. Optimization of all these parameters is critical for any given technology to be practically useful. In this paper, we report on a high-yield, high performance InP/InGaAs DHBT process with excellent uniformity and reproducibility.","PeriodicalId":142875,"journal":{"name":"24th Annual Technical Digest Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuit (GaAs IC) Symposiu","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125851261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
