This paper describes a new method for simultaneous exrraction of emitter and thermal resistance in bipolar transistors. The approach is verified using data generated by a compact model including self-heating and numerical simulation with lattice heating. Measured results are presented for the emitter and thermal resistances of self-aligned polysilicon devices and SiGe heterojunction devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
