Abstract
The conduction band barrier effect at high collector current densities of t he SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor has been modeled. The effects of conduction band discontinuity on the collector current and collector-base h eterojunction capacitance are examined. The analytical results are compared with experimental data. Good agreement between the model predictions and e xperiment is obtained. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
