Abstract A single power amplifier-duplexer device was submitted by a customer for analysis. The device was initially considered passing when tested against the production test. However, further electrical testing suggested that the device was stuck in a single power mode for a particular frequency band at cold temperatures only. This paper outlines the systematic isolation of a parasitic Schottky diode formed by a base contactcollector punch through process defect that pulled down the input of a NOR gate leading to the incorrect logic state. Note that this parasitic Schottky diode is parallel to the basecollector junction. It was observed that the logic failure only manifested at colder temperatures because the base contact only slightly diffused into the collector layer. Since the difference in the turn-on voltages between the base-collector junction and the parasitic Schottky diode increases with decreasing temperature, the effect of the parasitic diode is only noticeable at lower temperatures.

The influence of dark and light etching of CdS single crystals on the electrical and optical characteristics of the CdS-Cu",S heterojunction is investigated. It is shown through currentvoltage characteristics, spectral response and junction capacitance measurements that the junction of these cells is strongly affected by the presence of light during the etching process. It is found that when the CuS is formed on an etched CdS surface under light a chalcocite phase (CU2S) is obtained. In contrast, when the CuS layer is grown on a dark etched surface a mixture phase of chalcocite and djurleite (CUI� 96S) is found.
