Abstract:

A novel multi-finger power SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) with non-uniform segmented emitter fingers and non-uniform emitter finger spacing was proposed to improve the thermal stability. Thermal simulation for a five-finger power SiGe HBT with novel structure was conducted with ANSYS software. Three-dimensional temperature distribution on emitter fingers was obtained. Compared with non-uniform segmented emitter fingers structure and non-uniform emitter finger spacing structure, the maximum junction temperature of novel structure reduce significantly, the thermal resistance reduce, temperature distribution were significantly improved. Thermal stability was effective enhanced.
