Abstract

A SiGe HBT technology featuring f <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">T</sub> /f <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">max</sub> /BV <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">CEO</sub> =300GHz/500GHz/1.6V and a minimum CML ring oscillator gate delay of 2.0 ps is presented. The speed-improvement compared to our previous SiGe HBT generations originates from lateral device scaling, a reduced thermal budget, and changes of the emitter and base composition, of the salicide resistance as well as of the low-doped collector formation.
