  • Abstract
    Analytical expressions for the emitter and base forward delay times of a bipolar transistor are derived. The delay times are written in terms of a set of integrals, which allow the dependence on vertical device dimensions to be explicitly stated. These integrals are related to the heavy doping parameters and are valid for arbitrary base and emitter profiles. Simple analytical equations incorporating these integrals can then be used to calculate the delay times
