High power and high-efficiency multi-finger heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBT's) have been successfully realized at Ku-band by using an optimum emitter ballasting resistor and a plated heat sink (PHS) structure. Output power of 1 W with power-added efficiency (PAE) of 72% at 12 GHz has been achieved from a 10-finger HBT with the total emitter size of 300 /spl mu/m/sup 2/. 72% PAE with the output power density of 5.0 W/mm is the best performance ever reported for solid-state power devices with output powers more than 1 W at Ku-band.>
