Base transit time, τ b , in abrupt npn GaN/InGaN/GaN and AlGaN/GaN/AlGaN double heterojunction bipolar transistors (DHBTs) is reported. Base transit time strongly depends not only on the quasi-neutral base width, but also on the low field electron mobility, µ n , in the neutral base region and the effective electron velocity, S c , at the edge of base-collector heterojunction. µ n and S c are temperature-dependent parameters. A unity gain cut-off frequency of 10.6 GHz is obtained in AlGaN/GaN/AlGaN DHBTs and 19
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.
