Abstract: A developed analytical extraction technique of small-signal π-topology equivalent circuit model for Si/SiGeheterojunction bipolar transistor is presented. The intrinsic model parameters, including base resistance (Rb) which aredifficult to extract in the previous works, are analytically extracted by utilising a novel set of exact equations that do not needany numerical fitting, special polarisation of the device or any kind of post processing. Moreover, the substrate effect and thedistributed base-collector junction are accurately modelled and extracted. To the authors knowledge, the extracted valuesusing the presented methodology exhibit flattest and widest frequency independent behaviour among all those extracted withearlier published analytical techniques, especially for base resistance. Excellent agreement is noted between the S-parametersmeasurements and their simulated counterpart using the extracted model in the frequency range from 40 MHz–40 GHz atdifferent bias conditions.
1 Introduction
Owing to its high-speed performance, the Si/SiGeheterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) is the preferredcandidate for integrated communications systems applications.An accurate small-signal equivalent circuit model of thedevice is very essential for reliable circuit design. Twodifferent topologies are adopted as an equivalent circuit forHBT, namely, T-topology and π–topology. The T- model isdirectly related to the physics of the device. However, theπ-model is considered as the linear form of various compactmodels such as spice gummel poon (SGB) and verticalbipolar inter company (VBIC).On the other side, the III–V HBT devices have negligible
substrate effect on their performance compared with the Si/SiGe HBT devices. Most of the previously published papersconcentrated on extracting model parameters of III–V HBTdevices, either in T-topology [1–9] or in π-topology [10–12].There are two main techniques to extract small-signal model
parameters, direct extraction [1–6, 10–12] and optimisation-based extraction [7–9]. In the former technique, the extractedvalues are obtained from the S-parameters measurements usinganalytical expressions for the model parameters. Concerningthe latter technique, it utilises numerical techniques to find thebest parameter values that generate simulation results which fitwell with the measurements data. Unfortunately, it suffersfrom local minima problems and dependency on the initialvalues of the parameters. Consequently, non-physical andnon-unique values could be extracted.
The available previous few works that tackle extraction ofπ-topology model of the Si/SiGe HBT devices problemanalytically are introduced in [13–17]. Special polarisationfor the device, frequency approximations and least squarefit are needed to extract the model parameters [13, 16]. Thetechniques presented in [16, 17] model the base-collectorjunction as a single capacitance component rather thansplitting it into internal and external ones.The single capacitance model leads to a tangible mismatch
between the measured and simulated S-parameters. Onanother note, it is important to incorporate the substrateeffect into the model to match S22 parameter measurements,especially at high frequency. However, it is not consideredin the extraction techniques that are published in [14, 15,17]. Bias independent emitter resistance is not included inthe model [14, 15] and consequently the model behaviour isnot accurate beyond 20 GHz.Concerning [14], complete equivalent circuit of the
whole device including the radio frequency (RF) probe padsis modelled and extracted. Consequently, the substrateeffect is embedded and not modelled. In a different context,Rb is very difficult to extract, and is extracted under highfrequency condition [13, 14]. In the other works [16, 17], itsuffers from noticed frequency dependent behaviour. Allthe previously introduced techniques rely on deembeddingthe effect of Rb to obtain the required relations to extractthe values of the rest of the model parameters. Therefore itis considered as an additional deembedding step to thestandard parasitic deembedding process. Sensitivity of the

parameters values to the measurement errors is directlyproportional to the number of deembedding steps [18].To alleviate all these deficiencies, new closed form
expressions of the π-model parameters are derived from thedeembedded small signal parameters, Y parameters, of theintrinsic part of the device. All the bias dependent modelparameters values are extracted at the bias point of interest.Moreover, no frequency approximation or numerical fittingare needed in the extraction process.One external capacitor and other internal one are incorporated
into the model to take the distributed base collector junctionphenomena into consideration. No RF probe pads model isused and their influence is deembedded from themeasurements that are used in the model extraction process.Single capacitance is effectively used to model the
substrate effect. There is no need to use more complicatednetworks such as series R-C [13] or parallel R-C with seriescapacitance [16]. As a result of taking into account the mostimportant physical phenomena, frequency independentmodel parameters values are obtained over wideband up to40 GHz. The highest addressed value in the previouspublished techniques is 30 GHz [16]. Excellent matchingbetween deembedded measured and model-calculatedS-parameters is observed at different bias points.This paper is organised as follows: the developed technique
is described in Section 2. The frequency behaviour of theextracted model parameters and validation of the extractedmodel with deembedded S-parameters measurements arepresented in Section 3. In Section 4, the conclusion is drawn.

It consists of two main parts, extrinsic and intrinsic. Theformer is used to model the bias independent RF probe padand transmission lines whereas the latter is used to modelthe bias-dependent core of the device.The intrinsic parameters, as depicted in Fig. 2, are Rb,
base-emitter junction capacitance (Cπ), dynamic emitterresistance (Rπ), internal base-collector junction capacitance(Cu), external base-collector junction capacitance (Cf), DCtransconductance (gmo), transient time phase delay (t),collector substrate capacitance (Cs) and base resistance (Rb).Emitter resistance (Re) is incorporated into the intrinsic partdespite it being a bias-independent parameter. It isimpossible to deembed its value from device measurementusing conventional Y− Z parameters matrix manipulationsowing to the presence of grounded intrinsic parameter, Cs.The effect of the extrinsic part is removed from the
S-parameters measurements using the pad, short and opendummy structures shown in Fig. 3 [19].
2.2 Extraction of the intrinsic parameters
The deembedded admittance parameters (Yi) can be expressedin terms of the intrinsic parameters including Re (1)–(4).These expressions are derived for the first time and havenot been mentioned before in any literature. The complete

3 Validation of the extractedsmall-signal model
This study is applied to a 0.80 μm× 9.60 μm Si/SiGeHBT common emitter from AMISemiconductors. DCmeasurements of the device under test (DUT) are performed.The bias conditions are 0.80–0.90 V for base voltage and1.00–2.00 V for collector voltage. Concerning small signalmeasurements, S-parameters of the DUT and the dummystructures are measured over the frequency range 0.040–40GHz. The presented technique is validated at three differentbias points, (VCE = 1.5 V, VBE = 0.80 V and IC = 0.20 mA),(VCE = 1.5 V, VBE = 0.85 V and IC = 1.42 mA) and (VCE =1.5 V, VBE = 0.90 V and IC = 3.00 mA). The three bias pointsare given the following names, bias no. one, bias no. two andbias no. three, respectively.Utilising the DC measurements, gmo and Rπ are calculated
and listed in Table 1. Regarding k of the DUT, it has a valueof 1.3 as extracted from its layout. Re value is 15 Ω asextracted by extrapolating the Re(Z12) plot, as shown inFig. 4, towards infinite IB value.Fig. 5 depicts the extracted values of the rest of the model
parameters at the intended bias points. As shown in Fig. 5a,the frequency performance of the extracted values of Rb
exhibits independent behaviour at all bias points. It is worthnoting that, the observed flat performance over this wide

frequency band has not been obtained using all the previouslypublished methodologies. The same excellent behaviour isnoted for all the other extracted parameters over all the biaspoints. The extracted parameters values are listed in Table 1.As a result of the robustness of the presented technique,excellent matching between the measured and simulatedS-parameters is obtained, as shown in Figs. 6a–c. Theerrors between the measurements and the simulation resultsare quantified using the following equation

4 Conclusion
In this paper, a new set of equations is developed toanalytically extract π-topology small-signal modelparameters of the Si/SiGe HBT. The presented techniqueuses the S-parameters measurements of the DUT anddeembedding dummy, pad-short-open, structures. All thebias dependent model parameters are extracted on theintended bias condition. The extracted values utilising thistechnique are reliable, physical and frequency independentover wide frequency band. Excellent agreement is obtainedbetween the S-parameters measurements and the simulatedresults of the extracted model over different bias points.Therefore the proposed method can be considered as aperfect candidate for standard extraction technique of HBTdevices in BICMOS process.
