Abstract

This paper presents an improved method for determining the thermal resistance and junction temperature for silicon germanium heterojunction bipolar transistors. This method is a full analytical procedure without any iteration based on a set of accurate expressions. The thermal resistance is tested against iterative and analytic methods reported before. Good agreement is obtained between simulated and measured results for three SiGe devices with different emitter geometries.
