Abstract

The influences of device size on the small- and large-signal performance of SiGe power HBTs were experimentally studied. It is found that due to the increased parasitica along with the increase of device area, the maximum power gain Gmax (MAG/MSG), maximum oscillation frequency fmax and large-signal power gain continuously decease with the increase of device size. Furthermore, when the device size is larger than a certain area, the degradation of power gain is so severe that further increasing device area will not increase the output power of a SiGe power HBT.
