GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor Emitter Design
We demonstrate that GaAs-based HBTs with very low base currents at both low and high injection levels can be achieved using either Al0.35Ga0.65As or InGaP in the emitter with the proper optimization of structure and growth. We observe an order of magnitude reduction in space charge recombination current as the Al composition, and hence the energy-gap, of the emitter increases from 25% (1.77 eV)...
متن کاملThree-terminal heterojunction bipolar transistor solar cell for high-efficiency photovoltaic conversion
Here we propose, for the first time, a solar cell characterized by a semiconductor transistor structure (n/p/n or p/n/p) where the base-emitter junction is made of a high-bandgap semiconductor and the collector is made of a low-bandgap semiconductor. We calculate its detailed-balance efficiency limit and prove that it is the same one than that of a double-junction solar cell. The practical impo...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
An enhanced model for InGaP/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor
This paper presents an improved InGaP/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) model based on the Vertical Bipolar Inter-Company (VBIC) model. New transport current expression is proposed by considering the heterojunction effect. Collector capacitance is developed due to the mobile charge modulation, and the transit time formula is improved to account for electron velocity variation with th...
متن کاملSilicon Germanium Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor for Digital Application
Bipolar transistor performances can be characterized by figures of merit such as cut-off frequency, maximum frequency of oscillation and Emitter Coupled Logic gate delay. We studied the required figures of merit for digital application and the effects of lateral and vertical scaling to the figures of merit of SiGe Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor. With lateral scaling, the width of emitter fin...
