dc.description.abstract | The goal of achieving terahertz (THz) transistors within the silicon material system has generated significant recent interest. In this paper, we use operating temperature as an effective way of gaining a better understanding of the performance limits of SiGe HBTs and their ultimate capabilities for achieving THz speeds. Different approaches for vertical profile scaling and reduction of parasitics are addressed, and three prototype fourth-generation SiGe HBTs are compared and evaluated down to deep cryogenic temperatures, using both dc and ac measurements. A record peak f(T)/F-max of 463/618 GHz was achieved at 4.5 K using 130-nm lithography (309/343 GHz at 300 K), demonstrating the feasibility of reaching half-THz f(T) and f(max) simultaneously in a silicon-based transistor. The BVCEO of this cooled SiGe HBT was 1.6 V at 4.5 K (BVCBO = 5.6 V), yielding a record f(T) x BVCEO product of 750 GHz. V (510 GHz - V at 300 K). These remarkable levels of transistor performance and the associated interesting device physics observed at cryogenic temperatures in these devices provide important insights into further device scaling for THz speeds at room temperature. It is predicted in a new scaling roadmap that f(T)/f(max) of room-temperature SiGe HBTs could potentially achieve 782/910 GHz at a BVCEO of 1.1 V at the 32-nm lithographic node. | - |
