Abstract
The high frequency dilemma (limited high frequency operation only possible with high base sheet resistivities) of silicon bipolar junction transistors can be overcome by the application of heterostructures. In a first part we give an overview about the SiGe base heterobipolar-transistor (SiGe-HBT) concept and about the devices realized so far. In the second part we report about our SiGe-HBT device work based on Si-MBE grown structures. Experimental results obtained include transit frequencies up to 100 GHz, maximum oscillation frequencies up to 65 GHz, low base sheet resistivities (0.7 k/spl Omega/spl square/ to 3 k/spl Omega/spl square/), encouraging noise properties (<2 dB at 10 GHz) and successful tests in 24 GHz oscillators.<>
