Mj. Kumar et Dj. Roulston, MILLERS APPROXIMATION IN ADVANCED BIPOLAR-TRANSISTORS UNDER NONLOCAL IMPACT IONIZATION, CONDITIONS, I.E.E.E. transactions on electron devices, 41(12), 1994, pp. 2471-2473
Using a modified ionization model based on nonlocal impact ionization
conditions, Miller's relationship is reexamined for doping concentrati
ons (greater than or equal to 10(17)/cm(3)) used in advanced bipolar t
ransistors. For the useful range of current gains (0.1 > 1 - 1/M > 0.0
05), the empirical parameter n in Miller's relationship, evaluated und
er nonlocal impact ionization conditions is shown to be considerably d
ifferent from that obtained using standard ionization rates.
