چکیده

The interaction between transferred-electron effect and base widening under transient conditions in III-V heterojunction bipolar transistors is considered. Modification of the collector field profile with an n+ doping spike is shown to cause a time delay for the onset of Kirk effect creating conditions for the inception of charge instabilities. Numerical simulations suggest the possibility of sustainable intrinsic current oscillations in properly engineered bipolar transistor structures.

Suppression of boron transient enhanced diffusion in SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors by carbon incorporation

In this work, we demonstrate that the incorporation of carbon in the base of a npn Si/SiGe/Si heterojunction bipolar transistor dramatically reduces the outdiffusion of boron from the base under postgrowth implantation and annealing procedures. Without the addition of C, these processes would lead to transistors with vastly degraded transistor characteristics. This reduction in B diffusion, whe...

AlGaAs/GaAs HBT with Enhanced Forward Diffusion

One of the key limits of high-frequency operation of bipolar transistors is the base transient time, which is proportional to the square of the base width when the base transport is dominated by diffusion. Consequently, high-frequency bipolar transistors tend to use thin bases (<100 nm) that results in a short base transient time and a high cut-off frequency fT. However, for high frequency oper...

The comparison of radiation hardness of heterojunction SiGe and conventional silicon bipolar transistors

The results of the X-ray radiation impact on heterojunction SiGe and conventional silicon bipolar transistors are presented. Oxide thickness over the emitter-base junction depletion region determines the radiation hardness of the bipolar transistors. In this article, the estimation of the rate of radiation degradation of electrical parameters for conventional silicon devices and SiGe-transistor...

High-injection barrier effects in SiGe HBTs operating at cryogenic temperatures

We demonstrate that high-injection barrier effects associated with the collector-base silicon-germanium (SiGe) to silicon (Si) heterojunction are an important design constraint for SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) operating at cryogenic temperatures. Due to its thermally activated nature, these barrier effects can have important dc and ac consequences at cryogenic temperatures eve...
