A new model for the second breakdown of bipolar transistors

A triggering mechanism of second breakdown is proposed, which depends solely upon the existence of multiple equilibrium points for certain biasing conditions. Using a simple one-dimensional model we are able to predict that part of the safe-operating-area boundary limited by second breakdown. We find that our computed results compare favourably with various experimental measurements made.
