摘要
In this paper, we discuss a novel technique to reduce base resistance (R-b) and collector-base capacitance (C-cb) for higher F-max in high-speed SiGe HBTs. In order to reduce C-cb, we first located the origins of the different components of C-cb through AC extraction. Then we utilized scanning capacitance measurements (SCM) to examine the shape of the collector-base depletion. We then propose a method to reduce the extrinsic C-cb, namely by using reticle enhancement techniques to print a blocking oxide layer to inhibit boron outdiffusion. An additional benefit was the reduction of R-b by reducing the base link resistance.
