摘要
The results of numerical modeling of the base transit time and collector current of SiGe-base heterojunction bipolar transistors with a Gaussian base doping profile and two Ge profiles (linearly graded and box) are presented for the first time. The importance of including the dependence of minority carrier mobility on the drift field and the dependence of the effective density of states on the Ge concentration along the base is demonstrated through the analysis of base transit time and collector current. A function describing the decrease of the density of states product in strained SiGe layers with increasing Ge concentration is proposed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
