摘要
This work presents an improved measurement setup to directly measure the collector low frequency current spectral density S-IC of SiGe:C Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors (HBTs) when the base is AC short-circuited. A comprehensive analysis of the obtained results is also provided as well as a SPICE based electrical model. The additional white noise observed at high collector biases is due to the contribution of the emitter/base internal resistance. The 1/f noise exhibits a linear evolution with a 1.7 slope versus I-C and is proportional to 1/root Ae. No evolution of S-IC with emitter periphery P-e was observed. From a comparative study of the different 1/f noise term of S-IC we found that S-IC is mainly associated with the spontaneous fluctuations of the intrinsic collector current.
