Abstract
A comparative study of several balance equation models which have been used for the analysis of semiconductor devices was carried out. Simulation resu lts from a simplified one-valley model, an energy transport model and a dri ft-diffusion model applied for an AlGaAs HBT are compared with those from a fully specified two-valley model. Based on the study, some features of eac h model are clarified.
