   Abstract:
   AlInAs-GaInAs heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) and static flip-flop frequency dividers have been fabricated. An f_t and an f_max of 49 and 62 GHz, respectively, have been achieved in a device with a 2 x 5-μm² emitter. Current-mode logic (CML) was used to implement static divide-by-two and divide-by-four circuits. The divide-by-two circuit operated at 15 GHz with 82-mW power dissipation for the single flip-flop. The divide-by-four circuit operated at 14.5 GHz with a total chip power dissipation of 444 mW.
