Abstract

It was investigated how the characteristics of germanium transistors, especially the ground-emitter current-amplification factor, hfe, depend upon the process of vacuum-drying. It was found that the dominant factor was the adsorption and the desorption of water on the Ge surface. The surface contamination due to oil vapor from the mechanical vacuum pump also showed a great effect.
