A Comprehensive Study of Safe-Operating-Area, Biasing Constraints, and Breakdown in Advanced SiGe HBTs

This thesis presents a comprehensive assessment of breakdown and operational voltage constraints in state-of-the-art silicon-germanium (SiGe) heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) BiCMOS technology. Technology scaling of SiGe HBTs for high frequency performance results on lower breakdown voltages...
