In this paper an extensive verification of the extraction method (published earlier) that consistently accounts for self-heating and Early effect to accurately extract both base and thermal resistance of bipolar junction transistors is presented. The method verification is demonstrated on advanced RF SiGe HBTs were the extracted results for the thermal resistance are compared with those from an...

Nowadays, numerical models are one of the most widely used techniques to predict material performance subjected different manufacturing processes. However, obtain accurate predictions, these require reliable input data from thermomechanical tests. Nevertheless, during test is self-heated due a phenomenon known as adiabatic self-heating. Despite proven relevance proper characterization, self-hea...

The concentric single-turn self-resonant coil operated at 13.56 MHz (CC) and the annular array applicator (AA) operated at 55 to 100 MHz are the only regional heating devices the clinical use of which has been subjected to sufficient thermometric charac terization to be évaluable.The clinical heating characteristics and toxicity of both devices are reviewed. When spatial temperature measuremen...
