Abstract

Current crush phenomenon, a heat-related mechanism that is commonly observed in experimental I - V characteristic of power HBT, is explained favourably by the thermoelectro-feedback model. A feasible method with proper device geometry or layout to suppress this undesirable phenomenon is provided and experimentally verified.
