Abstract

In this paper we demonstrate, using both SIMS and transistor electrical characteristics, that substitutional carbon fractions of 0.5% in heavily doped Si0.8Ge0.2 base heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) reduce both thermal diffusion and transient enhanced diffusion (TED) of boron. Furthermore we show that carbon suppresses TED of boron in carbon-free regions that surround the carbon layers.
