An ideal, uniformly doped silicon npn transistor has the following doping and widths.

NPN emitter base collector
doping NDE = 4.0e+17 cm-3 NAB = 8.0e+15 cm-3 NDC = 1.33e+15 cm-3
widths WE = 2.5 μm WB = 1 μm WC = 8 μm

The BJT area is 400 μm x 400 μm.

Calculate βF and IS for the BJT.

If the BJT is biased in forward active operation, with VBE = 0.8 V, calculate the base, collector, and emitter currents, assuming room temperature operation.

Note: For silicon,
