Degradation of the characteristics of GaAs bipolar transistors with a thin base due to the formation in them of nanometer-sized clusters of radiation-induced defects as a result of irradiation with neutrons
- Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod (Russian Federation)
Calculation is performed for a flux of charge carriers in the structure of a GaAs bipolar transistor with a thin base in the case where a single cluster of radiation-induced defects is formed in the operating region of a transistor. It is shown that the site of the appearance of a cluster of radiation-induced defects greatly affects the degree of degradation of the gain of a bipolar transistor. The probabilistic assessment of radiation-induced puncture of the base in relation to its thickness and to the neutron fluence is obtained.
