Abstract
The SiGe heterostructure device simulation tool SCORPIO is used to investigate profile optimization in SiGe HBTs for high-performance analog circuit applications. After calibrating SCORPIO to measured data, the effects of germanium profile shape on current gain, cut-off frequency, Early voltage, and maximum oscillation frequency are compared over the temperature range of 200-360 K. The effects of aggressive base profile scaling on device performance are also investigated as a function of SiGe film stability.
