Abstract

The effect of an airgap deep trench isolation on the gamma radiation behavior of a 0.13μm SiGe NPN HBT technology is studied with the help of in-situ measurements. The incorporation of this deep trench isolation in the technology leads to a lower degradation of the transistor during irradiation as well in forward-mode as in reverse-mode operation. A possible explanation is briefly mentioned.
