Abstract
In this paper, we derive an analytical expression for the total delay time /spl tau//sub tot/ in Si/sub 1-x/Ge/sub x/HBTs and based on the expression, the influences of the Ge composition profile X/sub Ge/(y) in the base on total delay time /spl tau//sub tot/ is examined for optimization of cutoff frequency f/sub T/. Total delay times are varied by varying doping profiles and Ge composition. Trapezoid-like base Ge composition profile and total delay time for the Si/sub 1-x/Ge/sub x/ HBT were studied.
