Parameters of Bipolar, Field Effect, and Unijunction Transistor Large Signal Models for Use in Transient Radiation Effects Analysis

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to measure the large signal equivalent circuit parameters and transient radiation response of selected semiconductor components. These measurements are to be used by the personnel of the Instrumentation Laboratories, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to select components in the development of the SABRE guidance system. The devices measured include three types: bipolar, field effect, and unijunction transistors. The difficulties experienced in the study were due to the lack of acceptable equivalent circuit models and measurement techniques. These difficulties were overcome by the development of both acceptable models and measurement techniques. The models derived and parameter measurements are presented in this report.
