Abstract :
We present a method for SPICE model parameter extraction for a bipolar transistor in the active and quasisaturation modes. It uses the capabilities of the BIPOLE3 simulator to enhance the optimization procedure. Comparisons are made between the Gummel-Poon, the VBIC95, and the SGS-Thomson Microelectronics SPICE model results for IC(V BE), IB(VBE), β(IC), f T(IC), and IC(VCE) characteristics
