  • Abstract
    A physics-based scalable transistor model is described which allows one to consider accurately avalanche-breakdown effects in bipolar circuit simulation. It consists of 6 lumped transistor elements, connected via elements of the base and emitter resistance, and can be applied to arbitrary transistor geometries
