  • Abstract
    New data from special bipolar junctions that breakdown below the Si-SiO2interface are described. The devices were broken down both in a dc and pulse fashion, and junction degradation in the form of increased reverse leakage and reduced minority carrier lifetime was investigated. No degradation was observed.
