In this paper, a symmetric lateral two-zone SiGe base heterojunction bipolar charge plasma transistor (HBCPT) with an extruded (extended) base is proposed and its performance at circuit level is studied. The linearly graded electric field in the proposed HBCPT provides improved self gain (β) and cut-off frequency (fT). The proposed HBCPT demonstrates high self gain β 35–172.93 and fT of 1–4 THz for different device parameters. Moreover, fT of 1104.9 GHz and β of 35 can be achieved by decreasing Nb up to 8.2 × 1017cm−3. The small-signal analysis of common-emitter amplifier based on the proposed HBCPT demonstrates high voltage gain of 50.11 as compared to conventional HBT (18.1).
