特性を悪(する要因になっていた。Incidentally, one of the important characteristics of a transistor is the switching characteristic, and in this characteristic, the above-mentioned multi-emitter transistor has a problem particularly in the fall time Tf when changing from an on state to an off state.
When the emitter is grounded and a steady base current IB is applied to turn it on, carriers in each emitter region (3) (3) flow from the base region (2) to the collector region (1), and from this on state When the base current IB is cut off and the step base current -IB is applied conversely, the base region (2)
When the carriers remaining in the base region (2) are pulled out, it becomes an OFF state, and the carrier outflow speed in the base region (2) at this turn-off time determines Tf. However, the base area (2)
The carriers directly under the center of each emitter region (3) (3)-- remain as minority carriers and are at the point where extraction is inevitably delayed, and this is a factor that lengthens Tf and deteriorates the switching characteristics. Ta.
