RF Linearity Characteristics of SiGe HBTs
Two-tone intermodulation in ultrahigh vacuum/chemical vapor deposition SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) were analyzed using a Volterra-series-based approach that completely distinguishes individual nonlinearities. Avalanche multiplication and collector–base (CB) capacitance were shown to be the dominant nonlinearities in a single-stage common-emitter amplifier. At a given , an opt...
متن کاملMeasurement of Collector-Base Junction Avalanche Multiplication Effects in Advanced UHV/CVD SiGe HBT’s
This paper presents measurements of the avalanche multiplication factor (M 1) in SiGe HBT’s using a new technique capable of separating the avalanche multiplication and Early effect contributions to the increase of collector current with collector-base bias, as well as allowing safe measurements at practical current densities. The impact of collector doping, current density, Ge profile, and ope...

In this paper, we calculate electron and hole impactionization coefficients in In0.52Al0.48As using a Monte Carlo modelwhich has two valleys and two bands for electrons and holesrespectively. Also, we calculate multiplication factor for electronand hole initiated multiplication regimes and breakdown voltagein In0.52Al0.48As PIN avalanche photodiodes. To validate themodel, we compare our simulat...
متن کاملAlxIn1-xAsySb1-y photodiodes with low avalanche breakdown temperature dependence.
We report AlxIn1-xAsySb1-y PIN and Separate Absorption, Charge and Multiplication (SACM) avalanche photodiodes (APDs) with high temperature stability. This work is based on measurements of avalanche breakdown voltage of these devices for temperatures between 223 K and 363 K. Breakdown voltage temperature coefficients are shown to be lower than those of APDs fabricated with other materials with ...
متن کاملSeparating the Influences of Neutral Base Recombination and Avalanche Breakdown on Base Current Reduction in SiGe HBT’s
A simple experimental procedure is proposed to determine the separate ranges of reverse collector-base bias where neutral base recombination and avalanche breakdown, respectively, dominate base current reduction in silicon germanium heterojunction bipolar transistors (SiGe HBT’s) which exhibit significant neutral base recombination.
