Abstract

Degradation of current gain for ion implanted 4H-SiC bipolar junction transistor is described. The influence of bandgap-narrowing to the collector and base currents of the transistor was investigated using ISE-TCAD simulator. Simulated results show good agreement with the measured results, which show that the common emitter current gain of 3.9 is obtained at a maximum base concentration of 2×1017/cm3 and a maximum emitter concentration of 4×1019/cm3 for ion implanted 4H-SiC BJTs.
