In this paper, the effects of Ge content and profile shape on the performance of a SiGe-based heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) are investigated. The common-emitter current gain, the early voltage, and the transit time of SiGe HBTs are calculated and computed for different Ge profiles as well
