초록

When the ideality factor of collector current of AIGaAs/GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors (HBTs) is larger than unity, conventional $I_{CO}$ / $T^2$ versus 1000/T plot used in the determination of the barrier height of base-emitter junction of HBT was deviated from the straight line. We introduced the effective temperature $T_{eff}$ as nT in the Thermionic-emission equation. The modified $I_{CO}$ /TB versus 1000/ $T_{eff}$ plot was on the straight line in the temperature range considered. The activation energy obtained from the modified plot is 1.61 eV. The conduction band discontinuity calculated using this value was 0.305 eV and this value is coincident with the generally accepted value of 0.3 eV. eV.
