SiGeC heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) with a cut-off frequency of fT>150GHz have been realised with an n-type emitter cap, using a self-aligned integration scheme. Device simulations were used to tune the emitter base side of the non-selective epitaxially grown SiCeC layer. The experimental results are in very good agreement with the predictions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
