  • Abstract
    A simple yet accurate extraction method for the emitter and thermal resistance of bipolar transistors is presented. Only DC measurements taken on a thermally controlled wafer prober are required. The knowledge of the collector resistance is preferable, but not mandatory. The method yields excellent results when applied to advanced HBT technologies.
