Abstract
This paper describes SCORPIO, a new one-dimensional, drift-diffusion simulator for modeling silicon-germanium heterojunction bipolar transistors (SiGe HBT's) over a wide temperature range (77-400K). SCORPIO will be used to investigate fundamental low-temperature device physics problems and key device design issues. Comparisons of simulation results with experimental measurements are being used to ensure accurate model calibration.
