Abstract:Self-aligned heterojunction bipolar transistors with a high-low emitter profile consisting of a heavily doped polysilicon contact on top of a thin epitaxial emitter cap have been fabricated. The low doping in the single-crystal emitter cap allows a very high dopant concentration in the base with low emitter-base reverse leakage and low emitter-base capacitance. The thin emitter cap is contacted by heavily doped polysilicon to reduce the emitter resistance, the base current, and the emitter charge storage. A trapezoidal germanium profile in the base ensures a small base transit time and adequate current gain despite high base doping. The performance potential of this structure was simulated and demonstrated experimentally in transistors with near-ideal characteristics, very small reverse emitter-base leakage current, and 52-GHz peak fmax, and in unloaded ECL and NTL ring oscillators with 24- and 19-ps gate delays, respectively
