Abstract

Strained Si HBTs have been demonstrated for the first time with a maximum current gain (P) of 3700 using a relaxed Si0.85Ge0.15 virtual substrate, Si0.7Ge0.3 base and strained Si emitter. This represents 10x and 27x larger gain compared with pseudomorphic SiGe HBTs and Si control BJTs which were manufactured in parallel and had current gains of 334 and 135, respectively. The strained Si HBTs exhibited satisfactory breakdown voltage (2.5 V) compared with SiGe HBTs (2.7 V) and Si BJTs (4.5 V) and excellent control of collector off-state leakage (
