Abstrakt: On the double-heterojunction bipolar transistor (DHBT) with a narrow band-gap base, collector current is strongly impeded at a high current level where the base-pushout effect occurs. This phenomenon was studied in conjunction with the thermal stability of transistors. The experimental comparison of Si/SiGe/Si-DHBT with a Si bipolar junction transistor (Si-BJT) confirmed that SiGe-DHBTs are more stable with regard to thermal runaway than Si-BJTs.
