Kirk effect mechanism in type-II InP∕GaAsSb double heterojunction bipolar transistors
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Kirk effect mechanism is studied in type-II InP∕GaAsSb∕InP NpN double heterojunction bipolar transistors (DHBTs) both experimentally and through two-dimensional hydrodynamic numerical simulations. We show that the large valence band discontinuity ΔEV at the GaAsSb–InP base∕collector heterojunction does not allow hole injection into the InP collector as is the case in homojunction collectors. Instead, a blocking barrier is electrostatically induced in the base layer at high collector current densities: this barrier increases base recombination and decreases the current gain. We show that tunneling transport must be considered at the base∕collector heterojunction and that the induced barrier depends on the base layer doping level—effectively, InP∕GaAsSb DHBTs display high-current limitations that are also controlled to some extent by the base doping level.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
