Abstract :
Multiple variants of SiGe HBTs, using selected collector implants, suitable for wired and wireless applications were explored. The RF/analog characteristics of HBTs featured with fT/BVCEO values of 130 GHz/2.3 V, 80 GHz/3.4 V and 60 GHz/ 4.8 V were characterized. The dependence of bias, temperature, frequency, noise, power, and geometry were investigated to provide designers with appropriate performance-breakdown design coverage and flexibility.
