Abstract :
A new DC model for five-terminals bipolar devices used in advanced smart-power applications is presented. The model accounts for all parasitic effects associated with four-junction structures, enables an easy procedure for parameters extraction and favourably compares with experimental data on both simple devices and complex ICs
