Abstract
The electrothermal behavior of bipolar differential pairs fabricated in silicon-on-glass technology is investigated. Experimental results demonstrate that a considerable distortion of the characteristics may occur when the individual transistors are sensitive to electrothermal effects, with consequent performance and reliability reduction. Simulations are employed to support the measurements and to examine methods to reduce the electrothermal feedback.
