Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

It is shown that the current gain increases for reduced emitter sizes of self-aligned bipolar transistors with polysilicon emitter contact. This phenomenon is explained by the difference between the polysilicon contact area and the effective emitter area derived from electrical data.
