Base-emitter diffusion capacitance in GaAlAs/GaAs HBTs

Brad A. Kramer, Robert John Weber

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

The voltage dependence of the base–emitter diffusion capacitance in a single heterojunction GaAIAs/GaAs HBT is discussed. It is found that conventional transistor capacitance models are not accurate for these devices. An empirical expression is given which may be used to model this diffusion capacitance.
