  • Abstract
    Self-heating effect in heterojunction bipolar transistors has been studied by using a finite element analysis software which allows for the consideration of device thickness and the boundary condition of convection. Compared to the conventional thermal-electro model, which neglects the device thickness and assumes the adiabatic boundary condition, the finite element analysis provides more accurate results, especially under high-power operations.
