Investigation of the impact of band offset perturbations on the performance of abrupt HBT with heavily doped base

Abstract: Heavy impurity doping leads to bandgap narrowing (BGN) and this causes perturbations to the value of the band offsets at the hetero-interface. As a result, the form and height of energy barriers in abrupt HBT is disturbed, which changes the value of the current flowing through its interfaces. The analysis is based on the thermionic field-diffusion model which combines the drift-diffusion transport in the bulk of the transistor with the thermionic emission and tunneling at the base-emitter interface. The calcul… Show more

“…III-V compound semiconductor devices, such as GaAs-and InP-base high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) and heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs), [1,2] are considered promising candidates for high-speed circuits. Especially, HEMTs are attractive devices for microwave/millimetre-wave lownoise, high-gain applications.…”
