Experimental results show that the peak temperature is reduced by 22K compared with that of an HBT with uniform finger spacing in the same operating conditions. The temperature profile across the device can be improved at different biases for the same HBT with non-uniform finger spacing. Because of the decrease in peak temperature and the improvement of temperature profile, the power SiGe HBT with non-uniform spacing can operate at higher bias and hence has higher power handling capability.展开更多

Temperature distribution on the emitter fingers of a multi-finger SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor is studied using a numerical electro-thermal model. The results show that the SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor with non-uniform finger spacing has a small temperature difference between fingers compared with a traditional uniform finger spacing heterojunction bipolar transistor at the same power dissipation. What is most important is that the ability to improve temperature non-uniformity is not weakened as power dissipation increases. So the method of non-uniform finger spacing is very effective in enhancing the thermal stability and the power handing capability of power device. Experimental results verify our conclusions.展开更多
