Abstract :
An npn double heterojunction bipolar transistor has been made using In0.27Ga0.73Sb for the base and two different InxAl1-xAsySb1-y alloys for the emitter and collector. It has a common emitter current gain of 25. The emitter-base voltages required for a given collector current are smaller than those of InP-based HBTs.
