  • Abstract
    A Si/Si0.8Ge0.2 heterojunction bipolar transistor was fabricated having emitter, base and collector contacts at the wafer surface. The base doping concentration amounted to 1019/cm3 which was 20 times the emitter concentration. Due to the pronounced difference in bandgap energy a current gain of 17 was reached.
