Measurement data and simulation results are used to present a clear understanding of SiGe HBT reliability, and techniques are introduced to give circuit designers the tools necessary to optimize the performance-reliability trade-off in SiGe HBT amplifier designs.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Large-signal Reliability of Silicon-germanium Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor Amplifiers"}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2016-06-30 16:51:33","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 02:18:15","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2016-07-25T11:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2016-07-25T11:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2016-07-25T11:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2016-07-25 15:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2016-07-25 15:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2016-07-25 15:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"434381","name":"ECE Ph.D. Dissertation Defenses"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"},{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
