Abstract
A large area multi-finger configuration power SiGe HBT device (with an emitter area of about 880μm2) was fabricated with 2μm double-mesa technology.The maximum DC current gain β is 214.The BVCEO is up to 10V,and the BVCBO is up to 16V with a collector doping concentration of 1e17cm-3 and collector thickness of 400nm.The device exhibits a maximum oscillation frequency fmax of 19.3GHz and a cut-off frequency fT of 18.0GHz at a DC bias point of IC=30mA and VCE=3V.MSG (maximum stable gain) is 24.5dB,and U (Mason unilateral gain) is 26.6dB at 1GHz.Due to the novel distribution layout,no notable current gain fall-off or thermal effects are observed in the I-V characteristics at high collector current.-
