摘要
In this paper a new comprehensive avalanche multiplication model is presented that takes into account the finite thickness of the epilayer, modulation of the electric field by the collector current (Kirk effect), current spreading in the epilayer and quasi-saturation. Two parameters are needed to model the collector voltage dependency at small current levels and one parameter to describe high current effects. The dependency of the collector-emitter breakdown voltage BVceo with collector current is shown. The model will be part of the bipolar compact transistor model Mextram 504, but also can be used separately.
