Extrapolated parameters as mobilities, energy relaxation times, the thermal diffusion and other energy transport parameters from homogeneous Monte Carlo simulations of bulk InP and InGaAs are used for the Stratton hydrodynamic model. The simulations are further improved by a new doping dependent mobility model and taking into account thermionic emission over heterojunctions, band gap narrowing, and SRH (Shockley Read Hall) as well as radiative and Auger recombinations. Good agreement between measured and simulated output characteristics, unity current gain frequencies f/sub T/ and maximum oscillation frequencies f/sub max/ of actual very high speed InP/InGaAs(P) DHBTs are achieved.","PeriodicalId":447762,"journal":{"name":"Bipolar/BiCMOS Circuits and Technology, 2004.
