Abstract. This work is devoted to the simulation of electrical characteristics of the InP/InGaAs double heterojunction bipolar transistor (DHBT) NPN type, the essential aim for extracting the maximum and transition frequencies are important indicators for the use of the component in the microwave. InP/InGaAs DHBTs with surface of 0.25×0.73 µm2, the simulation of this structure has demonstrated a maximum current gain cutoff frequency fT of 900 GHz, with a simultaneous maximum power gain cutoff frequency fMAX of 500 GHz at the current density Jc of 66 m A̸µm. tapical BVCE values exceed 1.9 V.
