Abstract
Mesa-structured heterojunction bipolar transistors are analyzed by 2D device simulation, with emphasis on the treatment of exposed base surface and emitter-base heterojunction. Physical models for surface (surface recombination velocity and surface traps) and heterojunction (thermionic/diffusion and base dopant back diffusion) are compared to illustrate their effects on terminal characteristics. A strategy to assure accurate modeling is suggested.
