Abstract

Ultra-low-power SiGe base bipolar transistors with a wedge-shaped CVD-SiO₂ isolation structure and a borophosphosilicate glass (BPSG)-refilled isolation trench are presented. The SiGe base and a poly-Si/SiGe base contact were formed by selective growth in a self-aligned manner. The transistors have a very small collector capacitance (below 1 fF) and exhibit a high maximum oscillation frequency (30-65 GHz) at low current (10-100 μA). The power-delay product of an ECL ring oscillator is only 5.1 fJ/G for a 250-mV voltage swing. The maximum toggle frequency of a 1/8 static divider is 4.7 GHz at a switching current of 68 μA/FF.
