On the Iterative Schemes to Obtain Base Doping Profiles for Reducing Base Transit Time in a Bipolar Transistor
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper shows that base doping profiles obtained using any iterative scheme for reducing the base transit time T{, in bipolar transistors for a given neutral base width must take into account the heavy doping effects implicitly. Comparing our results with those reported earlier, we demonstrate that if the heavy doping effects are not implicitly included in the iterative scheme it will result in a completely different base doping profile leading to an overestimation of base transit time and underestimation of base resistance.

Profile Design Considerations for Minimizing Base Transit Time in SiGe HBT’s
A unified closed form analytical model for base transit time of SiGe HBT’s for uniform and exponential base dopant distributions with different Ge profiles in the base (e.g., box, trapezoidal, triangular) is reported. The model is subsequently used to study the design of Ge profile for different base doping profiles, including that of epitaxial base transistors. Consistent with the reported res...

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...

The bipolarlFET characteristics of the ZDEG-HBT (TwoDimensional Electron Gas Base p-n-p AIGaAs/GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor) are analyzed extensively by a two-dimensional numerical simulator based on a drift-diffusion model. For bipolar operations at high collector current densities, it is confirmed that the cutoff frequency f r is determined mainly by the collector transit time of ho...
متن کاملMeasurement of the bandgap narrowing in the base of Si homojunction and Si/Si1-xGex heterojunction bipolar transistors from the temperature dependence of the collector current
A method is described for measuring the bandgap narrowing in the base of a Si homojunction or SiISiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor from the temperature dependence of the collector current. The model includes the temperature dependence of the intrinsic carrier concentration, the bandgap, the minority carrier mobility, and freeze-out of dopant in the base. The analysis method is applied to t...
