Abstract

Techniques are presented for directly extracting the DC bipolar SPICE parameters for the forward active region without optimization by consistent use of the model equations. The mathematical basis of the extraction technique is explained in detail, and examples of its application as an interactive software system interfaced to the TECAP parameter extractor are shown. Use of the interactive software system permits the forward DC parameters to be determined in less than 10 min. The fit to measured data obtained is good enough that optimization is not required
