  • Abstract
    In this paper, the effect of the substrate interaction is examined for the RE flyback method which is commonly used to measure the emitter resistance of BJT devices. By considering the structure to be a combination of two devices, the measurement conditions can be understood better for different substrate configurations, giving improved confidence in the method
