The base region 4 is composed of SiGe with the thickness of 30 nm-35 nm, the content of Ge is 20% -30%, and the doping concentration is 9 × 1018cm-3-5×1019cm-3The dopant is B ion.
The collector region 3 is composed of Si and comprises a main collector region and a secondary collector region from top to bottom, the main collector region is connected with the base region 4, the secondary collector region is connected with the oxide layer 2, isolation grooves 6 are respectively arranged on two sides of the main collector region and near the connection of the main collector region and the base region 4, the thicknesses of the main collector region and the secondary collector region are respectively 0.15-0.25 mu m and 0.1-0.16 mu m, wherein the doping concentration of the main collector region is 8 × 1015cm-3~4×1016cm-3The concentration of the secondary collector region is 8 × 1018cm-3~3×1019cm-3And the dopant of the collector region is P ions.
The oxide layer 2 under the collector region 3 is SiO with the thickness of 0.1-0.5 mu m2A buried layer.
The substrate 1 is composed of Si, the dopant is B ion, the thickness is 0.5-1.5 μm, the doping concentration is 1 × 1015cm-3~5×1016cm-3. The width of the polysilicon field plate 7 in the collector region isolation groove 6 is 0.1-0.15 μm, and the height is 0.2-0.25 μm.
The structure of the conventional SiGe HBT device is as shown in fig. 2, and from bottom to top, the substrate, the oxide layer, the collector region, the base region, the emitter region, and both sides of the collector region are respectively provided with shallow trench isolations having the same size. In order to embody the advantages of the invention, the conventional SiGe HBT device and the multi-finger emitter SiGe HBT device provided by the invention are arranged, and doping is carried outFirstly, the emitter electrode of the conventional structure is changed into a multi-finger emitter, and the electrical characteristics of the two structures are compared (wherein the thickness of the emitter region 5 of the device is 0.1 mu m, and the doping concentration is 1 × 10)20cm-3The base region 4 has a thickness of 30nm and a doping concentration of 1 × 1019cm-3The collector region 3 comprises a main collector region and a secondary collector region from top to bottom, the thicknesses of the main collector region and the secondary collector region are respectively 0.2 mu m and 0.1 mu m, and the doping concentration of the main collector region is 2 × 1016cm-3Concentration of the secondary collector region is 1 × 1019cm-3(ii) a The oxide layer 2 is SiO with a thickness of 0.1 μm2Buried layer, substrate 1 with thickness of 1 μm and doping concentration of 1 × 1015cm-3(ii) a The width of the polysilicon field plate 7 in the collector region isolation trench 6 is 0.1 μm and the height is 0.2 μm). The Gummel curves of the conventional SiGe HBT device and the multi-finger emitter SiGe HBT device are shown in fig. 3 and 4. As can be seen from fig. 3 and 4, the gains of the multi-finger SiGe HBT and the conventional SiGe HBT are 188 and 151, respectively. The gain of the multi-finger emitter SiGe HBT is improved by about 25% compared with the conventional SiGe HBT. The main reason for improving the gain is that the electron potential barrier of the multi-finger emitter SiGe HBT is reduced, which is beneficial for electrons to enter the base region from the emitter region, meanwhile, the hole concentration entering the emitter region from the base region does not change obviously, the injection ratio of emitter junction minority carriers is improved, and finally, the current gain of the device is improved.
The dc gain of the device at different emitter indexes is shown in fig. 5, and it can be seen from the graph that the gain of the SiGe HBT is gradually increased as the emitter index is increased. The characteristic frequency and the highest oscillation frequency distribution of the conventional SiGe HBT and the multi-fingered emitter SiGe HBT at different indexes are shown in fig. 6 and fig. 7, respectively. As can be seen from fig. 6 and 7, as the index of the multi-fingered emitter increases, the characteristic frequency and the maximum oscillation frequency of the SiGe HBT are both gradually decreased. When the multi-finger emitter is six fingers, the amplitude of the characteristic frequency drop of the device is maximum. The characteristic frequency of the device is related to the total transit time of carriers, and the highest oscillation frequency is closely related to the characteristic frequency. The relationship between the characteristic frequency and the highest oscillation frequency is as follows:
Figure BDA0001426065230000051
the transit time can be expressed as:
τec=τbecdscr(2)
τe=(re+rc)(Cje+Cjc) (3)
τc=rc·Cjc(4)

wherein f isTIs a characteristic frequency, fmaxAt the highest oscillation frequency, τecFor total transit time, τbFor base transit time, τeFor emitter delay time, τcFor collector delay time, τdFor storing time, τ, of the emission zonescrTo collect junction space charge region transit time, reIs the emitter resistance, rcIs the collector resistance, RbA base resistance; cjc,CjeRespectively, the barrier capacitance of the emitter junction and the collector junction.
The characteristic frequency and the transit time tau of the device can be known from the formula (2)ecIn connection with, delay time τ of emittereDepending on the magnitude of the emitter junction barrier capacitance. In a multi-finger emitter SiGe HBT, the total emitter junction barrier capacitance is equal to the parallel connection of six adjacent emitter junction capacitances. Because of the existence of lateral diffusion, the capacitance of a single emitter is increased, the total emitter junction barrier capacitance of the multi-finger emitter SiGe HBT is larger than that of the conventional SiGe HBT, and the emitter delay time taueIncreasing, the characteristic frequency of the device and the highest oscillation frequency decreases accordingly.
On the basis of a conventional SiGe HBT, a conventional emitter is changed into a multi-finger emitter, so that the current gain of a device is improved, and aiming at the condition that the frequency characteristic of the device is deteriorated along with the improvement of the current gain, the method is improved in a collector region groove of the multi-finger emitter, and the improved method is to introduce an undoped polysilicon field plate into shallow groove isolation of a collector region.
Fig. 8 shows a comparison of the characteristic frequencies before and after introducing the field plate, from which it can be seen that the characteristic frequency before introducing the field plate into the trench of the multi-finger emitter sige hbt collector region is 33.9Ghz, and after introducing the field plate into the trench, the characteristic frequency of the device is greatly improved. The characteristic frequency of the novel multi-finger emitter SiGe HBT reaches 45.5GHz, and compared with the multi-finger SiGe HBT without introducing a field plate, the characteristic frequency of the device is improved by about 34%. The maximum oscillation frequency of the novel multi-finger emitter SiGe HBT reaches 85.5GHz, and the comparison of the maximum oscillation frequency is shown in FIG. 9, so that the maximum oscillation frequency of the device is improved by about 19% compared with the multi-finger emitter SiGe HBT without introducing a field plate. From the formula (3), under the condition that the base region transit time is not changed, the collector delay time tau is obtainedcAnd emitter delay time τeIs the main factor affecting the characteristic frequency. The introduction of the field plate can reduce the barrier capacitance of the emitter junction and the collector junction, the barrier capacitance is reduced, the delay time of the collector and the delay time of the emitter are reduced, the total transit time is reduced, and the characteristic frequency and the highest oscillation frequency of the device are improved to a certain extent.
The invention improves the characteristic frequency of the device and does not reduce the direct current gain of the device. The gain ratio before and after the introduction of the multi-finger emitter SiGe HBT into the field plate is shown in FIG. 10. It can be seen that the gain of the device is not reduced by introducing the field plate, and the gain of the device is raised to a certain extent. The field plate is introduced into the groove of the collector region, so that the injection ratio of the emission junction of the device cannot be reduced.
According to the invention, the conventional emitter structure is changed into a multi-finger emitter structure, so that the barrier height of the emitter junction is reduced, the injection ratio of minority carriers of the emitter junction of the device is improved, and the current gain of the device is improved. And a polysilicon field plate is introduced into the groove of the collector region, so that the barrier capacitance of the emitter junction and the collector junction is reduced, and the frequency characteristic of the device is improved. Finally, the gain of the new structure of the SiGe HBT can be improved to 190, the characteristic frequency and the highest oscillation frequency can respectively reach 45.5GHz and 85.5GHz, and the current gain and the frequency characteristic are improved under the condition that the process difficulty is not increased.
