Abstract :
A low complexity 0.35 μm SiGe HBT technology, using a quasi self-aligned emitter/base structure on a non-selective Si/SiGe epitaxial base, is described. Excellent high frequency performances (fmax up to 71 GHz) are obtained, opening the way to a highly manufacturable SiGe BiCMOS technology
