Semiconductor device physics

the widening of a bipolar transistor's effective base at high collector current density, which lowers the cutoff frequency and current gain.

In semiconductor device physics, Kirk effect refers to the widening of a bipolar transistor's effective base at high collector current density, which lowers the cutoff frequency and current gain. This meaning comes from Kirk (1962) in IRE Transactions on Electron Devices.[1]
