is used to model the avalanche multiplication effect in the traditional SiGe HBT Mextram model
which ignores the base-collector junction inductance delay characteristics due to avalanche multiplication phase delay and carrier transit-time delay under RF (Radio Frequency) conditions. The avalanche multiplication effect is studied and its physical mechanism leading to the inductance delay of SiGe HBT is explained. The breakdown inductance and breakdown resistance are proposed to characterize the contribution of RF inductance delay and avalanche multiplication carriers respectively. The RF avalanche multiplication effect inductive breakdown equivalent circuit is established and it is embedded in Mextram 505.00 model. The S-parameters are used to describe the verification process of the improved model. Compared to the traditional model of the device
the accuracy of the device gain and the output impedance of the improved model is greatly improved in the range of 1~35 GHz. The DC characteristics of the device will not be sacrificed. Meanwhile
