Abstract: Thanks to the SiGe heterojunction, in the last years the BJT transistor technology has been experiencing a great development for high frequency and low-noise operation. The performance of an ultra-low-noise preamplifier (500 e- RMS) with low frequency (100 MHz BW) will be shown. This amplifier, given the low dependence of the noise from the source capacitance (up to 1 nF), the very fast rise time (up to 100 ps) and the 50 Ohm input impedance, is particularly promising for silicon, diamond and high rate gas detectors.
