Abstract :
The validity of the injection model is assessed in the low power range. Experimental evidence is given that the three base current components (

, and I
p) can be determined from a three-gate experiment. The results are explained from the underlying device physics. Experimental data are presented for the temperature dependence of the upward current gain.
