In this work, a 4H-Silicon Carbide (SiC) Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) capable of operating at high temperatures up to 673 K is demonstrated. Comprehensive characterization including current gain, early voltage, and intrinsic voltage gain was performed. At elevated temperatures, although the current gain of the device is reduced, the intrinsic voltage gain increases to 5900 at 673 K, suggesting 4H-SiC BJT has the potential to be used as a voltage amplifier at extremely high temperatures.

Abstract It is difficult to simulate functional failures using static analysis tools, therefore, debugging and troubleshooting devices with functional failures present a special challenge for failure analysis (FA) work and often result in a root-cause success rate is quite low. In this paper, the application of advanced FIB circuit edit (CE) processes combined the static FA analysis yielded successful localization of a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) device soft failure. Additional FA techniques were incorporated within the FA flow, resulting in characterization of the electrical behavior of a suspected transistor and detection of an abnormal implant profile within the active area.

In this paper, we present a fast and simple SPICE-based technique for the performance characterization of BJT mixers. First, exploiting fundamental concepts, an AC equivalent circuit of a radio-frequency bipolar junction transistor mixer is derived. Second, this equivalent circuit is used to estimate the conversion gain, noise-figure, and nonlinearity characteristics of the mixer. The proposed technique has been validated using simulations on integrated and discrete transistor based mixer circuits.
