  • Abstract
    In this paper, an extension to the collector charge description for compact bipolar epilayer models is presented. With this extension, monotonic fT and Early-voltage behavior is ensured when transistor operation extends into the quasi-saturation region. The modification leads to a major improvement in the modeling of nonlinear distortion at high current levels and high frequencies
