Can also calculate total emitter and collector currents by adding up electron and hole currents in the collector and emitter Fortunately, for usable transistors (high gain) usually, the base is small Compared to the minority carrier diffusion length and the equations simplify ECE 663
Narrow Base Approximation: W<<LB • Can simplify hyperbolic functions involving W/LB • If <<1, then sinh() and cosh ()1 + 2/2 Linear concentration dependence across the base ECE 663
