Congratulations to Dr. Huiming Xu: Best Paper at CSICS 2014

Congratulations to Dr. Huiming Xu for winning Best Paper at the Compound Semiconductor IC Symposium (CSICS) 2014 for his paper titled “Advanced Process and Modeling on 600+ GHz Emitter Ledge Type-II GaAsSb/InP DHBT”. This paper addresses the problem of surface recombination in the extrinsic base region of a DHBT which limits the current gain and scalability of the device. Using an AlInP ledge to passivate the extrinsic base, the current gain was improved by 50%. The best performance device showed fT/fMAX = 480/620 GHz and β=24.
