The performance of npn SiGe HBT on thin film SOI is investigated at 32 nm technology node by applying body bias. An n-well is created underneath thin BOX to isolate the body biased SOI HBT from SOI CMOS. The results show that the HBT voltage gain and power gain can be programmed by applying body bias to the n-well. This HBT can be used in variable gain amplifiers that are widely used in the receiver chain of RF systems. The HBT is compatible with 32 nm FDSOI technology having 10 nm film thickness and 30 nm BOX thickness. As the breakdown voltage increases by applying the body bias, the SOI HBT with 3 V $V_{CE}$ has very high $f_tBV_{CEO}$ product (839 GHzV). The self heating performance of the proposed SOI HBT is studied. The high voltage gain and power gain (60 dB) of this HBT will be useful in designing analog/RF systems which cannot be achieved using 32 nm SOI CMOS (usually voltage gain is in the range of 10-20 dB).

AIGaAs/GaAs HBT를 이용한 고속 디지틀 시스템에 사용 될 CML OR/NOR 논리게이트를 설계하였다. HBT모델링은 직접 추출법, Gummel-poon모델을 혼합한 형태로 등가회로를 얻었으며 PSPICE를 이용한 시뮬레이션 결과, 전달지연시간이 25ps로써 차단 토글주파수가200Hz에 이르는 초고속 특성을 가지고 기 보고된 HBT의 ECL이나 ME.IFET SCFL에 비하여 noise margin이 커서 입력변동에 비한 잡음에 강하며 fan-out특성이 우수함을 확인하였다.

Objective : In vitro proapoptotic effect of Hangbaek-Tang (HBT) has been documented by one of us. In the present study, we aimed to demonstrate in vivo effect of HBT on tumor growth. Methods : In vitro selective cytotoxicity of HBT was examined by enumeration of viable cell numbers using BC3A mouse leukemic cells and normal spleen cells. In vivo effect of HBT (25 and 50 mg/mouse) on tumor growth was assayed using BC3A cells innoculated subcutaneously in the flank. Annexin-V apoptosis assay and PI staining was performed to determine the effective serum factor in HBT-treated mice. Leukocyte recruitment into peritoneum were analyzed by microscopy with a stained cytosmear of peritoneal lavage fluid. Results : HBT exhibited in vitro selective cytotoxicity to leukemic cells and did not show any toxicity on immune organs. In vivo i.p. administration of HBT induced significant reduction in tumor growth but not complete regression. Sera obtained from HBT-treated mice strongly inhibited BC3A cell growth in vitro and were revealed to markedly enhance apoptosis and accompanying cell death, when compared to those from PBS-treated mice. Abundant extravasation of leukocytes, especially neutrophils, into peritoneum was observed in HBT-treated mice. Conclusions : HBT causes leukemic, BC3A cell death in vivo via apoptosis as well as in vitro, for which functional involvement of leukocytes is suggested.

In this paper, the epi layer of npn SOI HBT with n+ buried layer has been studied through Sentaurus process and device simulator. The doping value of the deposited epi layer has been varied for the npn HBT to achieve improved $f_tBV_{CEO}$ product (397 GHzV). As the $BV_{CEO}$ value is higher for low value of epi layer doping, higher supply voltage can be used to increase the $f_t$ value of the HBT. At 1.8 V $V_{CE}$, the $f_tBV_{CEO}$ product of HBT is 465.5 GHzV. Further, the film thickness of the epi layer of the SOI HBT has been scaled for better performance (426.8 GHzV $f_tBV_{CEO}$ product at 1.2 V $V_{CE}$). The addition of this HBT module to fully depleted SOI CMOS technology would provide better solution for realizing wireless circuits and systems for 60 GHz short range communication and 77 GHz automotive radar applications. This SOI HBT together with SOI CMOS has potential for future high performance SOI BiCMOS technology.

본 논문은 InGaP/GaAs HBT를 사용하여 5.4㎓ 대역의 고성능 저잡음 증폭기를 제안하였다. 기존에 InGaP/GaAs HBT는 고전력 증폭기 설계에 주로 사용되어 왔으나, 최근 RF 단일칩화를 위한 소자로 인식되고 있다. 이에 InCaP/GaAs HBT 소자를 이용한 저잡음 증폭기 설계에 대한 연구가 선행되어야 하며, 본 논문에서는 InGaP/GaAs HBT의 우수한 선형성 특성과 잡음 특성을 이용하여 뛰어난 성능의 저잡음 증폭기를 설계 및 제작하였다. 제안된 저잡음 증폭기는 높은 Q의 나선형 인덕터와 MIM 형태의 캐패시터 등의 수동 소자와 능동 소자가 모두 한 칩에 집적화 되어 입출력 패드와 함께 0.9${\times}$0.9$\textrm{mm}^2$의 면적에 집적화 되었다. 제안된 저잡음 증폭기는 최적의 동작점을 선택해 이득과 잡음 지수를 최적화하였으며, 더불어 우수한 선형성을 얻을 수 있었다. 측정결과 제작된 저잡음 증폭기는 13㏈의 이득과 2.1㏈의 우수한 잡음 지수를 보였으며, IIP3 5.5㏈m의 우수한 선형성이 측정되었다.

We have explored the fabrication of an InP/InGaAs single heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) and a wave guide p-i-n photodiode (PD) on two kinds of double stacked layers for the implementation of an optoelectronic millimeter-wave monolithic integrated circuit (OEMMIC). We applied a photosensitive polyimide for passivation and integration to overcome the large difference between the HBT and PD layers of around $3{\mu}m$. Our experiment showed that the RF characteristics of the HBT were dependent on the location of the PD layer, while the dc performances of the HBTs and PDs were independent of the type of stacked layer used. The $F_t$ and $F_{max}$ of the HBTs on the HBT/PD stacked layer were 10% lower than those of the HBTs on the PD/HBT stacked layer.

Due to the large conduction band discontinuity between emitter base, OmGaAs HBT has an advantge to enable the hot electrons to inject into the base. In this paper, InAlGaAs/InGaAs HBT with the various emitter junction gradings and the modified collectors are simulated and analyzed by HMC(hybrid monte carlo) simulator in order to find a optimal structure for the shortest transit time. A minium base transit time (.tau.$_{b}$ ) of 0.21 ps was obtained for HBT with the grading layer, which is parabolically graded from x=1.0 to x=0.5. The minimum collector transit time (.tau.$_{c}$ ) of 0.31ps was found when the collector was modified by inserting p$^{[-10]}$ and p$^{+}$ layers. Thus HBT in combination with the emitter grading and the modified collector layer showed the cut-off frequency (f$_{T}$) of 183GHz.z.z.

In LD driver with HBT's. the speed characteristics of HBT's are deteriorated very much mainly due to the source resistance(Rs) of the signal applied to the LD driving HBT. We improved the bandwidth of LD driver by 2-5GHz with modifications of EF buffer. Because the modified buffers are composed of EF structure, their bandwidths are decreased rapidly as Rs is increased. When Rs is large these buffers decrease the bandwidth of the LD driver rather than increase it. To solve this problem, we propose a new buffer structure which contaings new charging and discharging path for the parasitic collector capacitance of the HBT. For Rs>100${\Omega}$, it shows superior characteristics of improving bandwidth to the EF buffers. It also shows good gain characteristics.
