摘要Taking into account the compensation effect of B to Ge in strained SiGe layers for the first time, the effect of heavily doped boron on the bandgap narrowing of strained SiGe layers is calculated, and the classical Jain--Roulston (J-R) model is modified. The results show that our modified J-R model well fits the experimental values. Based on the modified J-R model, the real bandgap narrowing distribution between the conduction and valence bands is further calculated, which has great influence on modelling the electrical characteristics of SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors.
