본 연구에서는 Sentaurus Process를 사용하여 NPN 바이폴라 트랜지스터(BJT)를 시뮬레이션 하였다. 많은 종류의 반도체 소자가 개발되고 있으나 가장 먼저 BJT가 개발되었으며 이후 계속적인 발전을 거듭하여 MOSFET와 함께 개발 발전되었다. BJT를 이용한 회로는 광범위하게 응용되고 있으며 BJT는 여전히 중요한 회로의 한 소자로 사용되고 있다. 뿐만 아니라 BJT는 MOSFET와 결합된 집적회로 기술의 응용분야에 사용되고 있다. 이는 BJT 특성들이 특별하게 설계된 많은 반도체 소자에서 자주 사용된다는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구에서는 그 중에서도 특성상 많이 사용되는 NPN BJT를 시뮬레이션 프로그램인 Sentaurus Process를 통하여 구조의 특성을 파악하고자 한다.

The algorithm for calculating the base-collector breakdown voltage of NPN BJT for integrated circuits is proposed. The method of three-dimensional mesh generation to minimize the time required for device simulation is presented and the method for calculating the breakdown voltage using solutions of the Poisson´s equation is presented. To verify the proposed method, the breakdown voltage between base and collector of NPN BJT using 20V process and 30V process is compared with the measured data. The breakdown voltage from the proposed method of NPN BJT using 20V process shows an averaged relative error of 8.0% compared with the measured data and the breakdown voltage of NPN BJT using 30V process shows an averaged relative error of 4.3% compared with the measured data.

For CMOS based bipolar junction transistor (BJT), a novel BJT structure which has higher matching property than conventional BJT structure was proposed and analyzed. The proposed structure shows a slight decrease of collector current density, $J_C$ about 0.361% and an increase of current gain, ${\beta}$ about 0.166% compared with the conventional structure. However, the proposed structure shows a decrease of area about 10% the improvement of matching characteristics of collector current ($A_{IC}$) and current gain ($A_{\beta}$) about 45.74% and 38.73% respectively. The improved matching characteristic of proposed structure is believed to be mainly due to the decreased distance between two emitters of pair BJTs, which results in the decreased effect of deep n-well of which resistance has the higher standard deviation than the other resistances.

A technique used to induce maximum oscillating voltage in the BJT Clapp VCO is presented. The technique finds the optimal feedback capacitance values resulting in the largest oscillating signal swing across the resonator at a given bias state and the VCO's center frequency. By doing so, the presented technique attains the lowest phase noise which the BJT Clapp VCO can have. An analysis of the measurement results of the fabricated oscillators has verified that the VCO with the optimal feedback capacitance values actually exhibits the lowest phase noise.

Objectives: Previous reports have shown that Bogijetong-Tang (BJT) is effective in peripheral neuropathy induced by taxol and crush injury. In this study, we researched the effects of BJT on diabetic neuropathy induced by STZ in the mouse. Methods: We performed both in vitro and in vivo experiments to verify the effects of BJT on diabetic neuropathy induced by STZ in mice. Changes in axonal recovery were observed with immunofluorescence staining using NF-200, Hoechst33258, $S100{\beta}$, caspase 3 and anti-cdc2. Proliferation and degeneration of Schwann cells were investigated by immunofluorescence staining and western blot analyses. Results: BJT showed considerable effects on neurite outgrowth and axonal regeneration in diabetic neuropathy. BJT contributed to the creation of NF-200, GAP-43, Cdc2, phospho-vimentin, ${\beta}1$, active ${\beta}1$, ${\beta}3$ integrin, phospho-Erk1/2 protein. Conclusions: Through this study, we found that BJT is effective for enhanced axonal regeneration via dynamic regulation of regeneration-associated proteins. Therefore, BJT had a pharmaceutical property enhancing recovery of peripheral nerves induced by diabetic neuropathy and could be a candidate for drug development after more research.

In this paper, a biosensor based on a gated lateral bipolar junction transistor (BJT) is proposed. The gated lateral BJT can function as both a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) and a BJT. By using the self-assembled monolayer (SAM) method, the C-reactive protein antibodies were immobilized on the floating gate of the device as the sensing membrane. Through the experiments, the characteristics of the biosensor were analyzed in this study. According to the results, it is indicated that the gated lateral BJT device can be successfully applied as a biosensor. Additionally, we found that the sensitivity of the gated lateral BJT can be varied by adjusting the emitter (source) bias.

바이폴러 트랜지스터(이하 BJT)의 고온 콜렉터-베이스 역전압 수명시험을 실시하였고, 수영시험 전후의 특성평가를 통해 BJT의 고장모드를 분석하였다. 시험조건은 주위온도 $150^{\circ}C$에서 콜렉터-베이스 정격 역전압의 80%를 인가한 상태에서 실시하였으며, 시료수는 57개이고 최종 목표 시험시간은 2,000시간이다. 중간측정을 통해 BJT의 특성열화를 관찰하였으며, 1,500시간 경과 후 1개 시료에서 제품규격을 벗어나는 데이터가 측정되었다. 해당 시료를 분석한 결과 콜렉터-베이스 누설전류 및 전류이득($\beta$)이 증가하였고, 저주파에서의 junction capacitance 가 정상품 대비 크게 관찰되었다. 측정결과를 통해 누설전류 증가 및 이득이 증가한 원인을 추정하였다.
