Abstract

A self-aligned HBT (heterojunction bipolar transistor) technology using polymide for insulating the emitter contact from the base contact is described. A 1- mu m emitter-width HBT with maximum oscillation frequency of 86 GHz was successfully fabricated. This processing was also applied to fabricate frequency-divider ICs. An operating frequency of 18 GHz was obtained with good reproducibility.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
