    The document discusses various models used to simulate the behavior of bipolar junction transistors (BJTs), including small-signal models like the h-parameter and hybrid-pi models, and large-signal models like the Ebers-Moll and Gummel-Poon models. The Ebers-Moll model describes the transistor using coupled diodes and dependent current sources. The Gummel-Poon model improves on Ebers-Moll by including the dependence of transistor gains on operating currents. Circuit schematics and equations for each model are provided.

    Modelling & Simulation of Semiconductor Devices LECTURE#06

    BJT Device Models


    By: Engr. Irfan Ahmed Halepoto

    BJT Device Models


    The primary function of a model is to predict the behaviour of a device in particular operating region. Small-signal models Hybrid (h) Parameter Model Hybrid-pi model Large-signal models EbersMoll model: Voltage & current control model GummelPoon model : charge-control model

    H-Parameter Model
    A model used to analyze linear BJT circuits. H-parameter is based on input current and output voltage as independent variables, rather than input and output voltages, which is related to the hybrid-pi model. This two-port network is particularly suited to BJTs as it lends itself easily to the analysis of circuit behaviour, and may be used to develop further accurate models.
    H-parameter model of NPN BJT

    Hybrid parameters (or) h parameters


    If the input current i1 and output Voltage V2 are takes as independent variables, the input voltage V1 and output current i2 can be written as V1 = h11 i1 + h12 V2 i2 = h21 i1 + h22 V2 Four hybrid parameters h11, h12, h21 and h22 are defined as follows. h11 = [V1 / i1] with V2 = 0 (Input Impedance with output part short circuited). h22 = [i2 / V2] with i1 = 0 (Output admittance with input part open circuited). h12 = [V1 / V2] with i1 = 0 (reverse voltage transfer ratio with input part open circuited). h21 = [i2 / i1] with V2 = 0 (Forward current gain with output part short circuited).

    Hybrid-pi model
    The hybrid-pi model is a popular circuit model used for analyzing the small signal behavior of BJT and FET. The model can be quite accurate for low-frequency circuits. Hybrid-pi model can also be adapted for higher frequency circuits with the addition of appropriate interelectrode capacitances and other parasitic elements.

    Simplified, low-frequency hybridpi model

    EbersMoll Model
    The classic mathematical model for the bipolar junction transistor is the Ebers-Moll model formulated by J. J. Ebers and J. L. Moll from Bell Laboratories in the early 1954. Ebers-Moll model also known as Coupled Diode Model The Ebers-Moll model provides an alternative view or representation of the voltage-current equation model. Model includes configurationally series resistances, depletion capacitances and the charge carrier effects.

    Ebers Moll model Designing


    EbersMoll model for pnp transistor involves two ideal diodes placed back to back with saturation current Ieo & Ico and two current dependent controlled sources shunting the ideal diodes.

    Ebers-moll model for a PNP transistor

    Ebers Moll Model Equation


    By applying KCL to emitter node we get IE + I IC = I or IE = I I IC or IE = - I IC + I IE = - I IC + I0 (e VE / VT 1) IE = -I IC IE0 (e VE / VT 1) ................................. (1) This model is valid for both forward & reverse static voltages applied across the transistor junction. In the above model, by making the base width much large than the diffusion length of minority carriers in the base, all minority carriers will recombine in the base and none will survive to reach the collector.

    Ebers Moll Model Equation


    Let us see the equations of Ic and IE from Ebers moll model. Applying KCL to the collector node, we get N I E + I C = I IC = I N IE IC = - N IE + I ; Where, I is diode current. IC = - N IE + I0 (e Vc / VT 1) Note: I0 = - IC0 ; Where , I0 is the magnitude of reverse saturation current . IC = - N IE ICO (e VC / VT ) .. (2)

    Ebers Moll model Parameters


    General expression for collector current IC of a transistor for any voltage across collector junction Vc and emitter current IE is

    IC = -N IN ICO (e VC / VT 1)
    Subscript N to indicates that we are using transistor in a normal manner. When we interchange the role of emitter and collector we operate transistor in a inverted function. In such case current and junction voltage relationship for transistor is given by

    IE = - I IC IEO (e vE / VT 1)
    Subscript I to indicates that we are using transistor in a inverted manner, I is the inverted common base current Gain.
    IEO: The emitter junction reverse saturation current. VE : The voltage drop from p side to N side at the emitter junction.

    Forward Characteristics of the npn Transistor


    The total current crossing the emitter-base junction in the forward direction is described as (equation-1)
    Equation (1)

    Where IES represents the reverse saturation current of the base-emitter diode.

    Collector current can be rewritten in terms of IES as (equation-2)

    Equation (2)

    Forward common-base current gain F represents the fraction of the emitter current that crosses the base and appears in the collector terminal.

    Reverse Characteristics of the npn Transistor


    For the reverse direction, the current crossing the collector-base junction is described as (equation-3)
    Equation (3)

    The new parameter ICS represents the reverse saturation current of the base-emitter diode. The emitter current can be rewritten in terms of ICS as (equation-4)
    Equation (4)

    The reverse common-base current gain R represents the fraction of the collector current that crosses the base from the emitter terminal.

    Ebers-Moll Model for the npn Transistor


    Complete Ebers-Moll equations are obtained by combining Equations 1-4.

    Equation (5)

    This model contains four parameters, IES, ICS, F , and R. From the definitions of IES and ICS, we can obtain the important auxiliary relation
    Equation (6) which shows that there are only three independent parameters in the Ebers-Moll model, just as in the transport formulation. The base current, given by iB = iE iC, is

    GummelPoon charge-control model


    The GummelPoon model is a detailed charge-controlled model of BJT dynamics, which has been adopted and elaborated by others to explain transistor dynamics in greater detail than the terminal-based models typically do . This model also includes the dependence of transistor -values upon the dc current levels in the transistor, which are assumed current-independent in the EbersMoll model. A significant effect included in the GummelPoon model is the DC current variation of the transistor F and R. When certain parameters are omitted, the GummelPoon model reverts to the simpler EbersMoll model. The GummelPoon model and modern variants of it are widely used via incorporation in the SPICE.

    AC small signal schematic of the bipolar transistor


    From fig.1(b), small signal schematic for high frequency simulations can be derived. This means, for a given operating point, the DC currents are calculated and the model is linearized in this point (fig.1c). Such a schematic is used later for SPICE S-parameter simulations. It must be noted that the schematic after fig.1(c) is a pure linear model.
