摘要
This paper reports on the InGaP/ GaAs HBT with the GaAs/ InGaP composite collector for a GSM power amplifier. The GaAs/ InGaP composite collector enables to pass the ruggedness test with SWR=10:1 at V-CE >5V, keeping the total collector thickness of around 900nm and the high power added efficiency (PAE). The load-pull measurement result for multi-cell HBTs with total emitter size of 7200mum(2) reveals the PAE of 74% at Pout=35dBm and V-CE=3.5V for the composite collector.
