Abstract
This paper presents a new technique of simulating the spatial distribution of microscopic noise contribution to the input noise current, voltage, and their correlation. The technique is demonstrated on a 50 GHz SiGe HBT. A strong "noise crowding" effect is observed in the spatial distribution of noise concentrations due to base majority holes. The spatial distributions by base majority holes, base minority electrons, and emitter minority holes are analyzed, and compared to the compact noise model.
