  • Abstract
    In this paper, the β of SiGe HBT shows negative temperature dependence could prevent thermal runaway is suitable for the radio frequency, high power applications was demonstrated and modeled. The breakdown voltage of HBT was measured as a function of reciprocal temperature. The current gain (β), the base open common-emitter breakdown voltages (BVCEO) and the collector-base breakdown voltage (BVCBO) are the three figures to evaluate the performance of SiGe HBT.
