Characteristics of npn AlGaN/GaN HBT
-
Abstract
A modeling of the minority carrier lifetime and impact ionization coefficients of GaN is presented.Then the simulation of an npn AlGaN/GaN heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) using a drift-diffusion transport model is executed.The turn-on,offset,and saturation voltages of the device are expressed analytically.Simulation results show that the high turn-on,offset,and saturation voltages of the practical device result from the high base sheet resistance and the nonohmic characteristics of the base contact,which are a reference for the device fabrication.-
