Abstract

The possible use of aluminum-mediated SPE silicon islands as ultrashallow Al-doped emitters in PNP SiGe HBTs is evaluated by electrical characterization of Si PNP test structures and 1-D MEDICI device simulations. The Al-doped emitters display electrical properties similar to B-doped Si. The surface recombination velocity υ at the Al-metal to SPE-Si interface and the minority carrier lifetime τ have been determined to be in the ranges of 7×105-1.2×106 cm/s and 2-3×10 -8 s, respectively.
