Abstract

Abstract

Energy gap and minority-carrier recombination lifetime are important physical parameters in the emitter of silicon transistor. Using temperature characteristics obtained from the reverse diffusion current of p-n junction and by means of linear extrapolation, a new method for determination of the energy gap at 0K is presented. Based on the carrier Fermi-Dirac statistic distribution, a method for determination of minority-carrier recombination lifetime in highly doped emitter is presented. This test method is simple and can be used in practice.
