  • Abstract
    Describes the realisation of self-aligned AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure bipolar transistors with submicron emitter stripe width, current gain of 120 and a maximum operating current density greater than 105 A cm-2. The high current gain was achieved by passivating the extrinsic base region with thin AlGaAs.
