Abstract
SiGe Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors (HBTs) require low temperature processing in order to minimize Boron-out diffusion from the base region. In this paper a novel technique of producing low temperature in-situ Phosphorus doped single-crystal silicon emitters for application in SiGe HBTs is presented. The single-crystal silicon was deposited at a temperature of 670/spl deg/C in a UHV-compatible LPCVD cluster tool. Gummel plots of the fabricated transistors show very ideal base and collector current characteristics. An ultra low emitter resistance of 6.6 /spl Omega/./spl mu/m/sup 2/ was also obtained. The very low emitter resistance is due to very low oxygen dose of 5.3/spl times/10/sup 13/ cm/sup -2/ at the single-crystal silicon emitter/silicon substrate interface. The commercial Silvaco TCAD ATHENA and ATLAS were used to model the DC characteristics of the transistor to validate the results.
