摘要：
We study the advantages and limitations of InP/GaAsSb/InP DHBTs for high-speed digital circuit applications. We show that the high-current performance limitation in these devices is electrostatic in nature. Comparison of the location of collector current blocking in various collector designs suggests a smoother, more gradual onset of blocking effects in type-II collectors. A comparison of collector current blocking effects between InP/GaAsSb-based and various designs of InP/GaInAs-based DHBTs provides support for our analysis.
