Abstract :
High-speed Si bipolar transistor technology that uses lamp-heated Rapid Vapor-phase Doping (RVD) for shallow base formation is demonstrated. By applying RVD to a self-aligned metal/IDP (SMI) base electrode structure, excellent characteristics, 82-GHz fT and 92-GHz fmax, were obtained simultaneously. Devices with longer emitters attained 100 GHz fT and fmax
