  • Abstract
    This paper describes recent advances in SiGe HBT technology. Technological developments introduced for improved radio-frequency performance are discussed. HBT device characteristics are presented for a 0.13 μm SiGe BiCMOS technology with fT/fmax of 300/500 GHz and mini-mum CML ring oscillator gate delays of 2.0 ps. Sample circuit applications for operating frequencies above 100 GHz are discussed.
