چکیده
On the basis of careful selection and calibration of model parameters we performed process and subsequent device simulation on WEB bipolar transistors. As a result, we concluded, that the mechanical stresses may be responsible for the measured varying device DC characteristics with emitter contact window width.

متن کاملMulti-emitter Si/Ge Si Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor with No Base Contact and Enhanced Logic Functionality
We demonstrate multi-emitter Si/GexSi1 x npn heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBT’s) which require no base contact for transistor operation. The base current is supplied by the additional emitter contact under reverse bias due to the heavy doping of the emitter-base junction. Large-area HBT test structures exhibit good transistor characteristics, with current gain 400 regardless of whether t...

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...

Low frequency noise characteristics of new high voltage, high performance complementary polysilicon emitter bipolar transistors have been studied. The influence of the base biasing resistance, emitter geometry, and temperature on the noise spectra are discussed. The npn transistors studied exhibited 1/f and shot noise. The pnp transistors, on the other hand, are characterized by significant gen...
متن کاملRealising high-current gain p-n-p transistors using a novel surface accumulation layer transistor (SALTran) concept
The authors report a new p-n-p surface accumulation layer transistor (SALTran) on SOI, which uses the concept of surface accumulation of holes near the emitter contact to significantly improve the current gain. Using two-dimensional simulation, the performance of the proposed device has been evaluated in detail by comparing its characteristics with those of the previously published conventional...
