6 Introduction (4/4) Why does f T drop? the neutral-base charge, which dominates the transit time at high current density two dominant high-injection effects conventional Kirk effect heterojunction barrier effect T. Zimmer BipAk, München 6/21

8 Barrier effect (1/3) Valence band barrier The transition from a narrow gap SiGe base layer to the larger bandgap Si collector layer introduces a valence band offset at the heterointerface. Since this barrier is masked by the band bending in the collector-base (CB) depletion region during low-injection operation, it has negligible effect on the device characteristics. At high-injection, the collapse of original CB electric field at the heterointerface reveals the barrier which opposes the hole injection into the collector Electric Field (V/cm) 1.E+06 5.E+05 0.E+00-5.E+05 Valence Band (ev) E B C E B C 0.75 V 0.9 V 1 V SiGe-Si barrier x (µm) 0.75 V 0.9 V 1 V T. Zimmer BipAk, München x (µm) 8/
9 Barrier effect (2/3) The hole pile-up that occurs at the heterointerface induces a conduction band barrier that opposes the electron flow into the collector This causes an increase in the stored base charge that results in the sudden decrease of both f T and f max h Density (cm-3) 1.E+20 1.E+18 1.E+16 Conduction Band (ev) E B C 0.75 V 0.9 V 1 V x (µm) V 0.9 V 0.92 V 1 V x (µm) T.

Zimmer BipAk, München 11/21
12 Retrograde Ge profile E-field and multiplication factor Varying Ge content produces an change in the valence band This change creates a heterojunction-induced electric field The Ge retrograde field E r depends on the retrograde distance D r Increasing D r reduces E r and hence M-1 From: G.
