Abstract

A hetero-junction phototransistor with a first layer comprising an InP N buffer and substrate, a second layer comprising an InGaAs N collector on the InP N buffer and substrate, a plurality of InGaAs P bases on the InGaAs N collector layer, and a plurality of InAIAs N emitters is described. Each emitter of the plurality of InAIAs N emitters is on a different base of the plurality of InGaAs P bases. The hetero-junction phototransistor comprises a plurality of InGaAs N+ caps, wherein each cap of the plurality of InGaAs N+ caps is on a different emitter of the plurality of InAIAs N emitters. The hetero-junction phototransistor comprises one or more electrical contacts. Each of the one or more electrical contacts is on a different cap of the plurality of InGaAs N+ caps.
