摘要
SiGe HBTs featuring a high quality oxide passivation show ideal Gummel plots and low 1/f noise with corner frequencies down to 300Hz. The measured K-B-factor of 2.6 x 10(-10)mu m(2)s is the lowest of any previously reported HBT. With an f(T) of 40GHz, the devices are ideal for low phase noise microwave oscillators. A simple 10GHz microstrip resonator showed -100dB(c) at 100kHz off carrier.
