ABSTRACT:
The degradation of the low current gain, which is exhibited during emitter-base reverse bias breakdown testing, is prevented by providing an emitter-base resistive shunt on the surface. This resistive shunt, preferably made of silicon nitride. utilizes surface recombination to reduce the low current gain permanently, thus a degradation is not exhibited upon testing.
