  5. 3. SiGeC Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors

    Author : Erdal Suvar; KTH; []
    Keywords : Silicon-Germanium-Carbon SiGeC ; Heterojunction bipolar transistor HBT ; chemical vapor deposition CVD ; selective epitaxy; non-selective epitaxy; collector design; high-frequency measurement; dopant segregation; thermal stability;

    Abstract : Heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBT) based on SiGeC havebeen investigated. Two high-frequency architectures have beendesigned, fabricated and characterized. Different collectordesigns were applied either by using selective epitaxial growthdoped with phosphorous or by non-selective epitaxial growthdoped with arsenic. READ MORE
