We explore the RF breakdown voltage of a SiGe HBT based on the 4th generation GLOBALFOUNDRIES 350nm PA technology and show that the collector-base breakdown voltage with emitter open (BVCBO) is more important in determining the RF breakdown of the HBT than the collector-emitter breakdown voltage with base open (BVCEO). We also show that the RF breakdown voltage and the Safe Operating Area (SOA) of the device are strongly dependent on the device size, and that the thermal effects significantly impact the RF breakdown voltage of the device.","PeriodicalId":284660,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE BiCMOS and Compound Semiconductor Integrated Circuits and Technology Symposium (BCICTS)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121899240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The transfer characteristics of HEMTs were measured for drain voltages (VDS) varying from 2V to 10V in steps of 2V with gate bias stress of −8V. The stress time of the measurement was varied from Os to 300s in steps of 60s. For a particular VDS, as the stress time was increased, the off-state drain leakage current changed due to surface traps. Two different samples were characterized. In one sample with a significant amount of surface traps, the off-state drain leakage current de-creased with the stress time. In another sample with a negligible amount of surface traps, the off-state drain leakage current remained nearly constant. This simple measurement technique can identify surface traps present in GaN-based HEMTs. The results were corroborated through estimation of surface traps with special test structures.","PeriodicalId":284660,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE BiCMOS and Compound Semiconductor Integrated Circuits and Technology Symposium (BCICTS)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130455434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed 4-tap AFIR filter consists of coefficient/polarity/tap control circuits with equalization, time delay elements, wideband Wilkinson power divider/combiners, a two-stage low-noise amplifier (LNA) with equal power distribution, and an active power combiner. The proposed AFIR filter addresses flat in-band response, low-pass filter (LPF), high-pass filter (HPF), and notch filter depending on coefficient and polarity control sets.

To design effective ESD clamps, knowing how the clamp turns on and operates during an ESD event is critical. This cannot be done with S-parameters or any other type of typical RF characterization. Transmission Line Pulsing, TLP, is a high-speed system that mimics an ESD event with a very short flat pulse (100 ns is typical). This allows in situ measurement of the voltage and current at the DUT during an ESD-like event. This paper will give an introduction into the theory (which is based on time domain reflection), configuration and uses of TLP. Different TLP configurations will be reviewed, and each configuration an IV curve for the DUT response is discussed. Calibration and correction will be explained which are done in the time domain. These provide the voltage and current references. The importance of the TLP load line will be discussed and its application to DUT characterization of turn-on and snap-back. Finally, characterization with pulses shorter than 10 ns, Very Fast TLP, are presented and its hurdles to accurate calibration.","PeriodicalId":284660,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE BiCMOS and Compound Semiconductor Integrated Circuits and Technology Symposium (BCICTS)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124838723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
