  • Abstract
    Based on the two dimensional device model, the effects of both the epi-interface states and SiC/SiO2 interface states on the current gain of 4H-SiC bipolar transistors are investigated. The recombination from epi-interface states in BE junction are the main reason for the lower current gain. Good agreements with reported experimental results are obtained.
