An npn transistor with IS = 1 × 10−16 μA, αF =0.975, and αR = 0.5 is operating with VB E = 0.70 Vand VBC = 0.50 V. By definition, this transistor isoperating in the saturation region. However, in thediscussion it was noted that this transistor actually behaves as if it is still in the forwardactive region even though VBC > 0. Why? Use thetransport model equations to justify your answer
