Abstract :
The SiGe HBTs On SOI substrates have a higher Early voltage, maximum oscillation frequency, and breakdown voltage. Buried oxide (BOX) thickness effect and lateral distance between collector and reach-through region of SiGe HBT on SOI substrates are investigated. A SiGe HBTs on SOI substrates with larger buried oxide thickness can achieve a higher BVCEO and fmax with a comparable fT and VA. Optimal design of the BOX thickness and Lco1 for SiGe HBTs on SOI has been studied.
