Abstract

To address the needs of 3 V wireless components such as power amplifiers, we have added a new, high-breakdown (6 V) HBT to IBM's 200 mm SiGe technology and explore the large-signal performance for the first time. At 0.9 GHz and 1.8 GHz, we observe excellent power densities of up to 1.36 mW/μm2, outstanding PAE reaching 70% and no performance degradation in integrating the HBT with CMOS.
