  • Abstract
    The minority-carrier lifetimes τn0and τp0of bipolar transistors are determined from low-cufrent hFEfall-off. The relative magnitude of surface space-charge-layer recombination current is taken into account. This method is particularly attractive in achieving accurate computer models of bipolar transistors suitable for network analysis and design.
