Question: An n - p - n BJT has emitter ( NE ) , base ( NB ) , and collector ( NC ) doping levels

An n-p-n BJT has emitter (NE), base (NB), and collector (NC) doping levels of 1019
cm3,5 x1018 cm3, and 1017 cm3, respectively. It is biased in the normal active mode, with
an emitter-base voltage of 1V. If the neutral base width WB is 100 nm, the emitter is 200 nm
wide, and we have negligible base recombination, calculate:
a.(10 points) the emitter current,
b.(5 points) emitter injection efficiency,
c.(5 points) and base transport factor.
You can assume electron and hole mobility of 500 and 100 cm2/V-s, respectively, in the
emitter, and 800 and 250 cm2/V-s in the base. The device gets heated up to 400 K during
operation such that ni =1012 cm3. Assume that the carrier lifetimes are 0.1 s everywhere.
