Abstract :
In this paper, we derive an analytical expression for the total delay time τtot in Si1-xGexHBTs and based on the expression, the influences of the Ge composition profile XGe(y) in the base on total delay time τtot is examined for optimization of cutoff frequency fT. Total delay times are varied by varying doping profiles and Ge composition. Trapezoid-like base Ge composition profile and total delay time for the Si1-xGex HBT were studied.
