Abstract :
The intrinsic carrier concentration has been calculated with the non-parabolic energy bands at low temperature. The current gain of silicon bipolar transistor has been quantitatively modeled at 77 K and 300 K, and the temperature dependence of the mean non-ideal coefficient of base current has been analyzed. The obtained results are in agreement with the experimental data
