  • Abstract
    A SiGe HBT technology featuring fT/fmax/BVCEO=300GHz/500GHz/1.6V and a minimum CML ring oscillator gate delay of 2.0 ps is presented. The speed-improvement compared to our previous SiGe HBT generations originates from lateral device scaling, a reduced thermal budget, and changes of the emitter and base composition, of the salicide resistance as well as of the low-doped collector formation.
