Abstract
This work reports on SiGe HBTs with f/sub T/ of 350 GHz. This is the highest reported f/sub T/ for any Si-based transistor as well as any bipolar transistor. Associated f/sub max/ is 170 GHz, and BV/sub CEO/ and BV/sub CBO/ are measured to be 1.4 V and 5.0 V, respectively. Also achieved was the simultaneous optimization of f/sub T/ and f/sub max/ resulting in 270 GHz and 260 GHz, with BV/sub CEO/ and BV/sub CBO/ of 1.6 V and 5.5 V, respectively. The dependence of device performance on bias condition and device dimension has been investigated. Considerations regarding the extraction of such high f/sub T/ and f/sub max/ values are also discussed.
