Abstract :
In this work, we investigate the characteristics of collector current (IC) and breakdown voltage (BVCEO) of SiGe HBTs under the mechanical uniaxial stress by a four-point bending apparatus. DeltaIc and DeltaBVCEO is found to be strain-polarity dependent, and there is a trade-off between DeltaI c and DeltaBVCEO at the same stress condition
