J. Song et Js. Yuan, Modeling the base-collector heterojunction barrier effect at high current densities of SiGe HBTs, SOL ST ELEC, 43(2), 1999, pp. 457-461
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.
