Abstract

A solid state electronic device (40) comprising a substrate (30) and layers (32 and 34) is fabricated to control the formation of crystalline defects to control at least one characteristic of the device, such as current gain beta. The formation of crystalline defects preferably is controlled by controlling the temperature of the substrate, layers or both.
