Abstract
The minority-carrier lifetimes τn0 and τp0 of bipolar transistors are determined from low-cufrent hFE fall-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.
