  • Abstract
    A theory of base transport in an abrupt-junction heterostructure bipolar transistor (HBT) is developed in the diffusion limit. The theory is valid for a continuous range of emitter injection energies Delta and accounts for the Early effect in both the static and the high-frequency limits. Small-signal network parameters strongly depend on Delta and differ from those in a graded emitter-base junction HBT.<>
