Space-charge recombination currents and their influence on the dc current gain of AlGaAs/GaAs Pnp heterojunction bipolar transistors
The effects of Shockley–Read–Hall, Auger, radiative, and intrinsic surface base recombination processes in the emitter-base space-charge region on the current gain of Pnp AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors are analyzed. At low forward emitter-base bias, the current gain of a typical Pnp AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor is shown to be reduced substantially below its valu...
متن کاملNovel Transient Phenomena in Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors
The interaction between transferred-electron effect and base widening under transient conditions in III-V heterojunction bipolar transistors is considered. Modification of the collector field profile with an n+ doping spike is shown to cause a time delay for the onset of Kirk effect creating conditions for the inception of charge instabilities. Numerical simulations suggest the possibility of s...
متن کاملInvestigating the changes of electrical characteristics of Bipolar Junction Transistors, before and after gamma irradiation
Bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) are active semiconductor devices commonly used for amplification and switching applications. In this study, transistors have been biased to operate in active region and by measuring the electrical characteristics of BJTs, the effect of gamma irradiation on each of these characteristics was investigated before and after the gamma irradiation by 60Co source. In...
متن کاملLight emitting charge injection transistor with p-type collector
We report the first realization of a charge injection transistor with a complementary collector. The device is implemented using InGaAs/InAlAs/InGaAs heterostructure material grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Real space transfer of hot electrons into the p-type collector leads to a luminescence signal arising from the recombination of the injected electrons with holes in the collector active reg...
متن کاملAnalysis of Kirk Effect in Nanoscale Quantum Well Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor Laser
In this paper, we present an analytical model to analysis the kirk effect onstatic and dynamic responses of quantum well heterojunction bipolar transistor lasers(HBTLs). Our analysis is based on solving the kirk current equation, continuityequation and rate equations of HBTL. We compare the performance (current gain,output photon number and small signal modulation bandwi...
