Abstract
The design of Si/SiGe HBT for high-frequency microwave power amplification was presented in this paper. The material profile structure of the device was designed. A comb liked structure with 6-fingered emitter was employed for the SiGe HBT. Then the device was fabricated by using the buried metal self-aligned double mesa process and high resistivity substrate in a 3 ¿m manufacture process line. The tested results indicate that the Si/SiGe power HBT reaches the parameters of Ã=26, VBC¿10 V, ICM¿180 mA and fT¿3.2 GHz.
