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

NPN emitter base collector
doping NDE = 2.5e+18 cm-3 NAB = 1.0e+17 cm-3 NDC = 1.11e+16 cm-3
widths WE = 4 μm WB = 1 μm WC = 5 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,
