Abstract
The Gunn effect in III-V heterojunction bipolar transistors is investigated using hydrodynamic simulations. It is shown that Gunn domains nucleate and propagate in the collector drift region of an npn AlGaAs-GaAs transistor in which the electric field at the base-collector space charge region is properly engineered
