Abstract :The research on Sı/SiGe heterojunction bipolar transisfors has led the ultra-high-speed transıstors tha! are compatible wilh the state-of-the-art silicon inlegraled technology. The SiGe base regions ofthese transistors are grımn selectivety on silicon substrates. Self-aligned slructures are used to reduce the external base resisıance aııd base colleclor parasitic capacitance. The germanium profile in Ihe base is graded to obtain a drift ejfect to reduce the base-transil tiıne. Si/SiGe integrated circuils for applications in optical-flber link systems and Si/SiGe microwave pover Iransistors have been produced wilh remarkable speeds. The SiGe semıconduaor material system, HBT slructures and fabricalion, and device performance issues are reviewed in thispaper.Keywords : SiGe alloys, heterojuncîion bıpolar transislors
