多晶发射极双台面微波功率SiGe HBT

研制成功了可商业化的75mm单片超高真空化学气相淀积锗硅外延设备SGE500,并生长了器件级SiGe HBT材料.研制了具有优良小电流特性的多晶发射极双台面微波功率SiGe HBT器件,其性能为:β=60@VCE/IC=9V/300μA,β=100@5V/50mA,BVCBO=22V,ft/fmax=5.4GHz/7.7GHz@10指,3V/10mA.多晶发射极可进一步提供直流和射频性能的折衷,该工艺总共只有6步光刻,与CMOS工艺兼容且(因多晶发射极)无需发射极外延层的生长,这些优点使其适合于商业化生产.利用60指和120指的SiGe HBT制作了微波锗硅功率放大器.60指功放在900MHz和3.5V/0.2A偏置时在1dB压缩点给出P1dB/Gp/PAE＝22dBm/11dB/26.1%.120指功放900MHz工作时给出了Pout/Gp/PAE＝33.3dBm (2.1W)/10.3dB/33.9%@11V/0.52A.

Polysilicon Emitter Double Mesa Microwave Power SiGe HBT

A new 125mm UHV/CVD SiGe/Si epitaxy equipment SGE500 capable of commercialization is constructed and device-level SiGe HBT material is grown.A polysilicon emitter (PolyE) double mesa microwave power SiGe HBT showing excellent low current DC characteristics with β=60@VCE/IC=9.0V/300μA,β=100@5V/50mA,BVCBO=22V,ft/fmax=5.4GHz/7.7GHz@3V/10mA is demonstrated.The PolyE SiGe HBT needs only 6 lithographical steps and cancels the growth of the thick emitter epitaxy layer,both of which show great potential for volume production.A 60-finger class-A SiGe linear power amplifer (PA) with 22dBm of 1dB compress point output power (P1dB),11dB of power gain (Gp) and 26.1% of power added efficiency (PAE) @900MHz,3.5V/0.2A is demonstrated.Another 120-finger class-A SiGe PA with 33.3dBm (2.1W) of Pout,10.3dB of Gp and 33.9% of PAE @900MHz,11V/0.52A is also demonstrated.
