Descrição
Resumo:The evolution of the GaInP/GaAs hetero-junction bipolar transistor currents during the “burn-in” process is studied. We found that during the burn-in process all the diffusion currents decrease as a function of the stressing time. The simultaneously observed current gain increase is produced by a more important reduction on the hole current injected into the emitter. Such behavior can be explained by an empirical model that considers impurity reactivation at both sides of the emitter-base junction. Thus, to suppress the burn-in process the whole structure device should be hydrogen free.
