Abstract
This work investigates the impact of CB junction traps and high injection barrier effect on 1/f noise in SiGe HBTs. By comparing the 1/f noise of standard and high breakdown voltage HBTs, we show that the collector-base junction traps result in not only a higher IB, but also higher base current 1/f noise at high injection. The base current 1/f noise level remains proportional to IB2.
