16Gbit/s multiplexer IC using double mesa Si/SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors

Abstract
A double mesa Si/SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) was developed for application in integrated circuits. The HBT is characterised by an emitter base heterojunction and consequently by a high base doping concentration. By using these transistors an integrated digital circuit, a multiplexer, was implemented. The measured bit rate of this first Si/SiGe HBT circuit was 16Gbit/s.
