We present a self-aligned, 0.18 μm emitter width SiGe HBT with
fT of 90 GHz, fMAX of 90 GHz (both at VCB
=0.5 V), NFMIN of 0.4 dB, and BVCEO of 2.7
V. We also demonstrate that this device is integrable with IBM's 0.18
μm, 1.8/3.3 V copper metallization CMOS technology with little effect
on the CMOS device properties and design rules
