In this paper, we present a model for double heterojunction bipolar transistors (DHBTs) that takes into account Fermi–Dirac statistics as well as an arbitrary injection level. The most commonly used models in the literature for heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs), bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and PN junctions can be easily obtained as a particular case of the general model presented here. In order to illustrate its features, the model is applied to an InP/GaAsSb/InP DHBT and an InP/InGaAs HBT. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
