  • Abstract
    A GaAs/Nb/InSb monolithic metal-base hot-electron transistor was newly developed and its transistor action was investigated. The common-base current amplification factor as high as 0.8 was attained for a 200 ¿-thick Nb base when the device was cooled down to the cryogenic temperature.
