Noise Parameter Analysis of SiGe HBTs for Different Sizes in the Breakdown Region

Figure 1

The flowchart of the presented analysis. The cross section of the SiGe HBTs with the diagram for different emitter lengths and emitter widths is also shown. The RF noise model including the inductive breakdown network is also presented. Although this noise model presented here for the sake of completeness is the same as [11], this work further extends to noise characterization for different sizes.
