M. Nanba et al., A 64-GHZ F(T) AND 3.6-V BV(CEO) SI BIPOLAR-TRANSISTOR USING IN-SITU PHOSPHORUS-DOPED AND LARGE-GRAINED POLYSILICON EMITTER CONTACTS, I.E.E.E. transactions on electron devices, 40(8), 1993, pp. 1563-1565
A high-performance bipolar transistor has been developed using an In-s
itu phosphorus-Doped Polysilicon (IDP) technique for emitter formation
. The transistor demonstrated an ultra-high current gain of 700, a max
imum cutoff frequency f(T(max)) of 64 GHz, and a breakdown voltage bet
ween collector and emitter BV(CEO) of 3.6 V. At the conditions of a V(
CE) Of 2 and 3 V, the product of f(T(max)) and BV(CEO) of 200 GHz . V
has been accomplished. This value is nearly equal to the physical limi
tation for homojunction silicon transistors [1].
