用一种简练的异质结双极晶体管(HBT)模型来模拟SiC基双极晶体管的高频和大功率特性。研究了一种外壳温度在27℃(300K)到600℃(873K)下的6H-SiC/3C-SiCHBT。将其高频大功率特性与AlGaAs/GaAsHBT作了比较。不出所料,欧姆接触电阻限制了SiCHBT的高频性能。现在看来,在SiC上只能可靠地产生1×10 ̄(-4)Ω-cm ̄2的接触电阻。所以f_T和f_(max)的最高实际值仅分别为4.4GHz和3.2GHz。但假定发射极、基极和集电极的接触电阻低到1×10 ̄(-6)Ω时,则6H/3CSiCHBT的f_T和f_(max)分别可达到31.1GHz和12.76Hz。
A concise heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) model is used to simulate the high frequency and high power characteristics of SiC-based bipolar transistors. A 6H-SiC / 3C-SiCHBT with shell temperature of 27 ℃ (300K) to 600 ℃ (873K) was studied. The high-frequency high-power characteristics and AlGaAs / GaAsHBT were compared. As expected, ohmic contact resistance limits the high frequency performance of SiCHBT. It now appears that a contact resistance of 1 x 10 ~ (-4) Ω-cm ~ 2 can only be reliably produced on SiC. Therefore, the maximum actual values of f_T and f_max are only 4.4 GHz and 3.2 GHz, respectively. However, assuming that the emitter, base and collector contact resistance is as low as 1 × 10 -6 Ω, the f_T and f max of the 6H / 3CSiCHBT reach 31.1 GHz and 12.76 Hz, respectively.
