| Summary: | The effect of an electrical ageing on npn bipolar transistor has been studied. The current
gain decreases substantially and the electrical properties are discussed. The emitter-base
junction parameters are degraded during the electrical stress experiments. Both the
amplitude and the rate of this degradation depend on the stress duration. The
evaluation of these parameters allows to discuss hot carrier degradation process, to
estimate the stress magnitude and to control the device. |
