Hot-Carrier Stressing of NPN Polysilicon Emitter Bipolar Transistors Incorporating Fluorine

The effects of fluorine on the hot-carrier induced degradation in low-thermal-budget polysilicon emitter NPN bipolar transistors have been examined. Forward Gummel plots, base emitter (BE) diode characteristics, and stress currents were measured during reverse BE bias stress. Fluorinated devices beh...
