← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when gallium-arsenide doping shifts in a heterojunction bipolar transistor?
A)Increased base-emitter barrier degradation
B)Reduced collector-base capacitance
C)Elevated emitter current crowding✓
D)Improved thermal conduction to heatsink
💡 Explanation
Elevated emitter current crowding happens because a shift creates non-uniform base currents due to differences in electron mobility; therefore, total current concentrates at the emitter edge rather than spreading evenly; this exceeds the design temperature threshold.
