Improving the long pulse width failure current of NPN in BiCMOS technology
The pulse width dependency of the failure current for NPN structures in a 0.18-μm BiCMOS technology is studied using measurements and TCAD simulation. The desired “Wunsch-Bell” behavior is not observed due to formation of current filaments in this device; however, the failure current for long pulse widths can be increased by layout changes.
