The book describes the bipolar transistor model and parameter measurement techniques for the SPICE circuit simulator. Originally published by Tektronix in 1974, this is a slightly modified revision republished in 2009 by the original author.

This is still my favorite, and most often used, book on bipolar transistor modeling. A large part of this is because it is so well written; it is clear, precise, and concise. There are a large number of useful parameter extraction and characterization techniques described, and these are still the basis of a large portion of bipolar modeling to this day. In fact, I still occasionally see papers or paper submissions that "discover" new techniques for parameter extraction that are covered in this book ... so there are more people that should be reading it! The descriptions of how bipolar transistors work, and how they are modeled, logically progresses from basics to more detailed ("2nd order") phenomena. Both for people learning about bipolar tranistor operation and modeling, and for practising bipolar modeling engineers, this is an invaluable learning and reference work.
