Abstract

To integrate the phototransistor into the receiver circuit for optical communication, not only the compatible process is pre-requisite [1], but also the device model is required for circuit simulation. The designed nkT base current (depletion region recombination current at B-E junction) can increase the bandwidth of the phototransistor and provide a possible bias margin for avalanche gain. Therefore, a modified Mextram model is proposed for the HPT simulation.
