  • Abstract
    A simple analytical model for optimum collector epi-layer thickness Wepi to maximize fmax of VLSI bipolar transistors having reach-through collector is reported. Numerical and analytical results for Wepi are compared to verify the validity of our model for the optimum collector epi-layer thickness at high current densities
