An extensive on-wafer experimental campaign is carried out to determine the thermal resistance dependence on scaling and emitter geometry in state-of-the-art toward-THz silicon-germanium bipolar transistors designed and fabricated within the framework of the European DOTFIVE project. The extraction is performed through a robust procedure which-differently from classic approaches-exploits an accurately calibrated thermometer relating base-emitter voltage to junction temperature. Experimental data are then used to assess the accuracy of scalable thermal resistance laws for advanced transistor models; it was found that at least four parameters are needed to ensure a favorable agreement over wide ranges of emitter widths and lengths.
