Abstract :
The status of SiGe HBTs is reviewed and related to III/V HBTs and HFETs. Figures of merit considered are DC performance (gains, Gummel plot), frequencies (fT, fmax), noise (Fmin , fC), and power aspects (PAE). Criteria for a further optimization of SiGe HBTs (layer parameters, layout rules, technologies) are pointed out
