摘要
We present a new collector construction for high-speed SiGe:C HBTs that substantially reduces the parasitic base-collector capacitance by selectively underetching of the collector region. The impact of the collector module on RF performance is demonstrated in separate bipolar processes for npn and prip devices. A minimum gate delay of 3.2ps was achieved for CML ring oscillators with npn transistors featuring f(T)/ f(max) values of 300GHz/250GHz at BVCEO = 1.8V. For pnp devices with f(T)/ f(max) values of 135GHz /140GHz at BVCEO = 2.5V a gate delay of 5.9ps is demonstrated. Further vertical scaling of the doping profiles increases f(T) to 380GHz at BVCEO = 1.5V for npn's and 155GHz at BVCEO = 2.3V for pnp's, but ring oscillator speed and f(max), degraded.
