The effect of arsenic and arsenic‐phosphorous mixed emitters on current gain in bipolar transistors is discussed. Experimental data for doping profiles and output admittance tests are correlated with emitter efficiency. It is conclusively shown that emitter efficiency is greater for arsenic‐type devices, and that base recombination limits the gain when arsenic is used as the emitter dopant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
