Abstract
An improved direct extraction method for determination of the small-signal equivalent-circuit model for InP/InGaAs double heterojunction bipolar transistors is presented. This method is based on an accurate small-signal model, which takes into account the base-emitter and collector-emitter metalisations by using two additional capacitances Cmb and C mc. These capacitances (Cmb and Cmc) are extracted using a set of exact closed-form equations. Significant improvement of the extraction accuracy of the intrinsic base-emitter junction capacitance Cbe is obtained by using the new combination method, which is based on the relationship between the conventional T- and PItype equivalent-circuit topology. The approach has been verified over a wide range of bias points using an InP HBT with 5 × 5 μm2 emitter area in the frequency range of 50MHz-40GHz.
