Analysis of Factors Contributing to Common-Base Avalanche Instabilities in Advanced SiGe HBTs

Factors contributing to the observed bias-dependent features in common-base (CB) DC instability characteristics are examined for advanced SiGe HBTs. Parameters relevant to CB instabilities are identified and extracted from data to yield improved physical insight, a straightforward estimation methodology, and simple comparison between samples
