Abstract(in English) We investigated the relationship between the emitter charging time and inverse current of heterojunction bipolar transistors(HBTs)operating at high current density. This relationship appears to be proportional when the current density is low enough, but it deviates from this proportional relationship at a current density of more than a few mega-ampere per square centimeter. This deviation causes an error in the separation of the total delay time into components when assuming the relationship 1/f_T=A/I+B, where f_T is the cutoff frequency, I is the current, and A and B are constants. This error is more than 30 fs, which is not negligible for ultra-high-speed HBTs.
