  • Abstract
    A new analytical formulation of the temperature at thermal runaway in silicon BJT´s is presented and supported by measurements on a thermally very sensitive silicon-on-glass process. The linear relationship between V/sub BE/ and V/sub CB/ for a given collector current is used to define a straightforward method for electrically determining the biasing conditions at thermal runaway.
