Abstract :
An attempt to recreate the experimental results given in the paper by C.D. Ferris (see ibid., vol.36, p.293-5, 1993) was made using a modern transistor curve tracer. The experimental results were not reproduced. The new experimental results seem to validate the common usage of η≈1 in describing bipolar junction transistors
