Abstract
We describe the fabrication and characterization of high speed SiGe:C HBTs using a poly-SiGe emitter. The effects of Ge incorporation into the emitter on the static (gain, BVCEO) and dynamic (fT, τECO) device characteristics are analyzed. This experiment is used to quantify the impact of the current gain on fT, and provides an original way to extract the emitter component of the forward transit time.
