  • Abstract
    A low-cost SiGeC HBT module for bulk and SOI RFCMOS platforms is described. The device features an all-implanted collector and a novel fragmented emitter layout, and requires 4 masks only. Record performances are demonstrated, with cut-off frequencies fT/f max as large as 230/240GHz and 140/200GHz on bulk and thin SOI substrates respectively
