Third generation 200GHz silicon–germanium Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors (Si–Ge HBTs) were irradiated with high dose Co-60 gamma radiation up to 100Mrad. Pre-radiation and post-radiation DC figures of merits were used to quantify the radiation tolerance of the different geometry devices. The different electrical characteristics like Gummel measurements, excess base current, current gain, transconductance, neutral base recombination, avalanche multiplication of carriers and output characteristics were studied for different doses from 100krad to 100Mrad of total doses. The Si–Ge HBTs showed robust ionizing radiation tolerance up to a total dose of 100Mrad.
