摘要: This paper investigates high-current and electrostatic discharge (ESD) phenomenon in pseudomorphic epitaxial-base silicon-germanium (SiGe) heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBT). Transmission line pulse (TLP) ESD human body model (HBM) wafer-level reliability testing, failure analysis simulation of SiGe HBT devices is completed for characterization evaluation the robustness a BiCMOS technology.
