  • Abstract
    This paper examines the development and use of steady-state and ac small-signal physical simulators for the two-dimensional modeling of basic bipolar device structures. This work is aimed at reducing the time to develop compact models used for circuit level simulations. Physical simulation is performed by the solution of Poisson´s equation and the continuity equations for holes and electrons using finite difference methods. Simulated terminal characteristics for an oxide-isolated transistor with an up-diffused base are compared with steady-state and frequency domain measurements.
