  • Abstract
    In this paper, we study the performance and reliability of LDMOS (laterally diffused MOS) transistors, developed in a 0.25μm SiGe:C BiCMOS technology, for two different channel doping schemes a) uniform and b) single-sided halo (SH). We show that SH LDMOS transistors are more reliable and offer better DC and high frequency performance. We also demonstrate BVDS *Ft values up to 630GHzV with SH LDMOS transistors.
