  • Abstract
    In this paper we present excellent low-frequency noise performances of passivated Si/SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor. We report noise corner frequency in the 10 kHz range for the input noise voltage generator and in the 100 kHz range for the input noise current generator. We show that 1/f noise is probably generated both in the distributed base resistance and along the emitter finger.
