Abstract

An improved extraction method considering ac current crowding effect is investigated to determine intrinsic ( $C_{\mu}$) and extrinsic ( $C_{\mu}$) base-collector capacitances of bipolar junction transistors separately. The drawbacks of conventional methods are pointed out, and the improved extraction equations are derived from a cutoff mode equivalent circuit with the ac crowding capacitance. The frequency response curves of modeled current and power gains using the extracted values of $C_{\mu}$ and $C_{\mu}$ have much better agreements with measured ones than those of the conventional methods, verifying the accuracy of the improved technique.

본 논문에서는 교류전류 집중현상이 고려된 바이폴라 등가모델에서 내부 베이스-컬렉터 캐패시턴스(C/sub μ/)와 외부 베이스-컬렉터 캐패시턴스(C/sub μx/)를 분리해서 추출하는 개선된 방법을 연구하였다. 먼저, 기존 추출방법들의 문제점들을 파악하고, 교류전류 집중 캐패시턴스가 포함된 차단모드 등가회로로부터 개선된 추출방정식들을 유도하였다. 이렇게 추출된 C/sub μx/와 C/sub μx/를 사용하여 모델 된 전류 및 전력이득 주파수 응답곡선들은 기존 추출방법으로 얻어진 곡선보다 측정 데이터와 훨씬 잘 일치되었으며, 이는 개선된 추출방법의 정확도를 증명한다.
