Abstract: The single-event transient (SET) response of a third-generation bulk C-SiGe (${\hbox {npn}} + {\hbox {pnp}}$) BiCMOS platform is investigated for the first time. Pulsed-laser, two-photon ...

When I showed Bob Pease one of the many solenoid driver circuits available on the Web, he scoffed. “That’s not the way to do it!” he exclaimed. He wrote me: “Was there a READER who wanted to know how ...

Fnirsi keeps amazing me. Not only do they spit out test and measurement tools at an impressive pace, but they also try to innovate in the looks department. The first Fnirsi tool that landed on my desk ...

Amidst the advances in CMOS and wide bandgap semiconductor technology, you can easily forget that the first transistor invented by William Shockley in 1949 was a bipolar junction transistor (BJT).

Simply put, sensors are the eyes and ears of industrial automation. Regardless of the application, automation is simply not possible in today’s manufacturing process without sensors. There are many ...

It is made from a sandwich of three layers of semiconductor material: two layers of n-type material, which is a semiconductor doped with elements that provide extra electrons, and one layer of p-type ...

Abstract: In this paper, the effect of nitride passivation layer on the irradiation response of PNP bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) by Co-60 gamma ray under high and low dose rates is investigated ...
