Abstract

Si1-x-yGexCy selective epitaxial growth (SEG) was performed by cold-wall ultra-high-vacuum chemical vapor deposition (UHV/CVD), and a Si1-x-yGexCy layer with good crystallinity was produced by optimizing the growth conditions. As a result of applying Si1-x-yGexCy SEG to form the base of a self-aligned heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT), device performance was significantly improved by suppression of B outdiffusion; namely, a maximum oscillation frequency of 174 GHz was obtained.
