Notation fornpn & pnp BJTs • NE, NB, NC E, B, and C doping (maj) • xE, xB, xC E, B, and C CNR widths • DE, DB, DC Dminority for E, B, and C • LE, LB, LC Lminority for E, B, and C (L2min = Dmin tmin) • tE0, tB0, tC0 minority carrier life- times for E, B, and C regions
Notation fornpn BJTs only • pEO, nBO, pCO: E, B, and C thermal equilibrium minority carrier conc • pE(x’), nB(x), pC(x’’): positional mathe- matical function for the E, B, and C total minority carrier concentrations • dpE(x’), dnB(x), dpC(x’’): positional ma- thematical function for the excess minority carriers in the E, B, and C
