This effect can be described by coupled diffusion of carbon atoms and Si point defects. We discuss the increase in performance and process margins in SiGe heterojunction bipolar technology by adding carbon. SiGe:C HBTs demonstrate excellent static parameters, exceeding the performance of state-of-the-art SiGe HBTs. C also enhances the high frequency performance, because it allows one to use a high B doping level in a very thin SiGe base layer without outdiffusion from SiGe, even if applying post-epitaxial implants and anneals.","PeriodicalId":194523,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1999 Bipolar/BiCMOS Circuits and Technology Meeting (Cat.
