6.3 In a particular technology, a small BJT operating at vBE = 30VT conducts a collector current of 100 µA. What is the corresponding saturation current? For a transistor in the same technology but with an emitter junction that is 32 times larger, what is the saturation current? What current will this transistor conduct at vBE = 30VT? What is the base–emitter voltage of the latter transistor at iC = 1 mA? Assume active-mode operation in all cases.
