MONTE-CARLO MODELING OF TRANSIENT EFFECTS IN RESONANT-TUNNELING BIPOLAR-TRANSISTORS

Transient behavior of bipolar transistors with a quantum-well base and a resonant-tunneling structure in the collector is studied using the ensemble Monte Carlo particle method. The switch on/off processes as a response to trigger pulses of the collector voltage and the base curr ent are simulated. The amplitudes and duration of the pulses providing reliable switching are obtained.
