摘要
This paper describes the device optimization work done with the study of carbon incorporation into the SiGe base of a bipolar deposited by selective epitaxy. First the bipolar fabrication is addressed. Effects of carbon on electrical characteristics are then discussed. Performances of a bipolar transistor using an optimal carbon profile derived from a design of experiments are presented A 180 GHz f(T) and f(max) bipolar device with a BVceo of 1.7 V is demonstrated It is to the authors' knowledge the best-balanced performance reported for a fully self-aligned SiGeC HBT using a selective epitaxial base.
