  • Abstract
    We present a mixed-mode reliability time-to-fail model for high-performance SiGe HBTs. We systematically extract model parameters for 10% current-gain (hFE) degradation as function of stress parameters VMCB and IE over multiple orders of empirical drift data. The model also includes VBE readout and geometry scalings
