摘要
A 200-mm 0.35-mu m silicon-germanium heterojunction bipolar transistor (SiGe HBT) technology involving epitaxially-aligned polysilicon emitters is described. The devices are shown to combine the high speed performances typical for poly-Si emitter SiGe base devices (f(max) up to 70 GHz) and the low 1/f noise properties of monocrystalline emitter structures (noise figure-of-merit KB as low as 7.2 x 10(-10) mu m(2)). Statistical current gain data are used to demonstrate the manufacturability of this innovative SiGe HBT technology.
