Abstract

A new comprehensive model for space-charge region (SCR) recombination current in abrupt and graded energy gap heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) is derived. It is shown that if a spike is present in one of the bands at the heterojunction interface, the SCR recombination current becomes interrelated with the collector current. A previously proposed charge control model for the HBT is modified to include the SCR recombination current. The model is used to study SCR recombination characteristics in HBTs. >
