So, emitterand collector are not interchangeable.The base width is small compared to the minority carrierdiffusion length. If the base is much larger, then this willbehave like back-to-back diodes.Circuit ApplicationsNotice IB vs. IC !!Qualitative BJT OperationModes of Operation• Cutoff: Base diode not turned on (VBE < 0.6V) so IB , IC = 0• Saturation: Base diode turned on, but IC limited by low VCE .• Active: IC controlled by IB , no effect of VCEBJT Physical StructureB EC p+p+ P base N collectorN+ subcollector P− substrateN+polySiN+DeeptrenchDeep trench ShallowtrenchP+polySiP+polySiQuestion• How can you increase IC /IB ?BJT AmplificationAs base width decreases, more currect is collected at collector, i.e., IB << ICBCII=βIncreasing βPerformance Parameters• Emitter Efficiency:– Decrease 5 relative to 2 to increase gain• Base Transport Factor:– Decrease 1 relative to 2 to increase gain• Common Base dc Current Gain:– (2) + (3) vs. (1+2) + (5)• Common Emitter dc Current Gain:– (2) + (3) vs. (4+5)EnEpEpIII+=γEpCpIIT=αTIIdcECγαα==dcdcBCIIdcααβ−==1Qualitative Solution - DefinitionsNE = NAEDE = DNτE = τnLE = LNnE0 = np0 = ni2/NENB = NDBDB = DPτB = τpLB = LPpB0 = pn0 = ni2/NBNC = NACDC = DNτC = τnLC = LNnC0 = np0 = ni2/NCEmitter Region Formulation• Diffusion equation:• Boundary ConditionsEEEndxndEDτΔΔ−=22"0)1()0"(0)"(/0−==Δ=∞→ΔkTqVEEEEBenxnxnBase Region Formulation• Diffusion equation:• Boundary ConditionsBBBpdxndBDτΔΔ−=220)1()()1()0(/0/0−=Δ−=ΔkTqVBBkTqVBBCBEBepWpeppCollector Region Formulation• Diffusion equation:• Boundary
