  3. “Game Plan” for I-V Derivation • Solve the minority-carrier diffusion equation in each quasi-neutral region to obtain excess minority-carrier profiles • different set of boundary conditions for each region • Find minority-carrier diffusion currents at depletion region edges • Add hole & electron components together  terminal currents EE130/230M Spring 2013 Lecture 25, Slide 3

  4. Emitter Region Analysis • Diffusion equation: • General solution: • Boundary conditions: • Solution: EE130/230M Spring 2013 Lecture 25, Slide 4

  9. BJT Terminal Currents • We know: • Therefore: EE130/230M Spring 2013 Lecture 25, Slide 9

  10. BJT with Narrow Base • In practice, we make W << LB to achieve high current gain. Then, since we have: EE130/230M Spring 2013 Lecture 25, Slide 10

  11. BJT Performance Parameters • Assumptions: • emitter junction forward biased, collector junction reverse biased • W << LB EE130/230M Spring 2013 Lecture 25, Slide 11

  12. BJT with Narrow Emitter Replace with WE’ if emitter is narrow EE130/230M Spring 2013 Lecture 25, Slide 12

  13. Ebers-Moll Model increasing (npn) or VEC (pnp) • The Ebers-Moll model is a large-signal equivalent circuit which describes both the active and saturation regions of BJT operation. • Use this model to calculate IB and IC given VBE and VBC EE130/230M Spring 2013 Lecture 25, Slide 13

  14. V V EB CB I B E B C I C If only VEB is applied (VCB = 0): aR : reverse common base gain aF : forward common base gain If only VCBis applied (VEB = 0): : Reciprocity relationship: EE130/230M Spring 2013 Lecture 25, Slide 14

  15. In the general case, both VEB and VCB are non-zero: IC: C-B diode current + fraction of E-B diode current that makes it to the C-B junction IE: E-B diode current + fraction of C-B diode current that makes it to the E-B junction Large-signal equivalent circuit for a pnp BJT EE130/230M Spring 2013 Lecture 25, Slide 15

  17. Ways to Reduce Base-Width Modulation Increase the base width, W Increase the base dopant concentration NB Decrease the collector dopant concentration NC Which of the above is the most acceptable action? EE130/230M Spring 2013 Lecture 25, Slide 17

  18. Early Voltage, VA Output resistance: A large VA (i.e. a large ro ) is desirable IC IB3 IB2 IB1 VEC 0 VA EE130/230M Spring 2013 Lecture 25, Slide 18

  19. Derivation of Formula for VA Output conductance: for fixed VEB where xnC is the width of the collector-junction depletion region on the base side xnC P+ N P EE130/230M Spring 2013 Lecture 25, Slide 19

  21. Summary: BJT Performance Requirements • High gain (bdc >> 1) • One-sided emitter junction, so emitter efficiency g  1 • Emitter doped much more heavily than base (NE >> NB) • Narrow base, so base transport factor aT 1 • Quasi-neutral base width << minority-carrier diffusion length (W << LB) • IC determined only by IB (IC function of VCE,VCB) • One-sided collector junction, so quasi-neutral base width W does not change drastically with changes in VCE (VCB) • Based doped more heavily than collector (NB > NC) (W = WB – xnEB – xnCB for PNP BJT) EE130/230M Spring 2013 Lecture 25, Slide 21
