摘要
This paper explores the feasibility of combining calibrated ac 2-D numerical simulation and two of the latest Y-parameter-based noise models for predictive noise figure optimization in advanced UHV/CVD SiGe HBT's. At the operating current where the NF,, is the lowest, a close agreement between simulation using both noise models and measurement is achieved from 2 GHz to 18 GHz. The impact of collector doping level on noise figure is also discussed.
