Effect of band alignment and density of states on the collector current in p-Si/n-Si1-yCy

Effect of band alignment and density of states on the collector current in p-Si/n-Si1-yCy

p-Si/n-Si1-yCy/p-Si heterojunction bipolar transistors with varying carbon fractions in the base were grown by rapid thermal chemical vapor deposition (RTCVD), to better understand the potential of Si1-yCy in enhancing the performance of Si-based bipolar technology. The band line-up issues which mak...
