A simple formulation of the saturation current density in heavily doped emitters

Abstract: In a non-uniformly and heavily doped emitter region of a bipolar transistor, the continuity equation and the minority-current equation cannot be solved exactly in closed form. This paper shows that the calculation of minority-carrier current density can be calculated by a simple approach. This approach is based on the average value of the equilibrium hole density p 0 , diffusion constant D p , and lifetime τ p of minority carriers and leads to two coupled differential equations of the first order. These equati… Show more

“…Moreover, Equation (24) indicates that: (i) at the surface emitter: x=0, ρ(0) = N , defining the surface donor density, and (ii) at the emitter-base junction: x=W, ρ(W) = N (W) , which decreases with increasing W, as noted above.

Moreover, all the parameters given in Equation 24were chosen such that the errors of our obtained J -values are minimized, as seen in next Table 4, and our numerical calculation indicates that, from Equation 24, we can determine the highest value of W, being equal here to 85 μm.…”
