Abstract :
A novel bipolar avalanche transistor is proposed. Controlled avalanche and large current output over a significant bias region is achieved by incorporating a staircase multiplication region at the base-collector junction. The III-V materials choice, device design, and computed output characteristics are presented and discussed.
