Measurements and Simulations of Lateral PNP Transistors in a SiC NPN BJT Technology for High Temperature Integrated Circuits

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work, a 4H-SiC lateral PNP transistor fabricated in a high voltage NPN technology has been simulated and characterized. The possibility of fabricating a lateral PNP with a current gain larger than 1 has been investigated. Device and circuit level solutions have been performed.
