Abstract

The safe-operating area of an advanced InP HBT technology is studied experimentally using pulsed, DC and RF as well as load-pull measurements. To study the implications of the results on circuit performance, a power amplifier cell is analyzed using HICUM/L2. Safe-operating-area related consequences for circuit design, technology development, compact modeling and device characterization are outlined.
