Abstract

High-speed, low capacitance heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) and a method for their fabrication are disclosed. The devices are fabricated by a manufacturable process which moves patterning and deposition of the base post up versus the current manufacturing process, thus permitting fabrication of a smaller base post and base metal contact and reducing the base-collector capacitance.
