中文摘要：

A physical model for scaling and optimizing InGaAs/InP double heterojunction bipolar transistors(DHBTs) based on hydrodynamic simulation is developed.The model is based on the hydrodynamic equation,which can accurately describe non-equilibrium conditions such as quasi-ballistic transport in the thin base and the velocity overshoot effect in the depleted collector.In addition,the model accounts for several physical effects such as bandgap narrowing,variable effective mass,and doping-dependent mobility at high fields.Good agreement between the measured and simulated values of cutoff frequency,f t,and maximum oscillation frequency,f max,are achieved for lateral and vertical device scalings.It is shown that the model in this paper is appropriate for downscaling and designing InGaAs/InP DHBTs.
