We present the first comprehensive investigation of the impact of Ge profile shape as well as the scaling of collector and base doping profiles on high-injection heterojunction barrier effects in advanced UHV/CVD SiGe HBT's over the temperature range of -73 degrees C to 85 degrees C. Results indicate that careful Ge profile design tailored with a proper collector profile design are required to push the barrier onset current density (J(C,barrier)) to well beyond the typical circuit operating point.
