Abstract

A bipolar transistor having base and collector regions of narrow bandgap semiconductor material and a minority-carrier excluding base contact has a base doping level greater than 1017 cm−3. The transistor has a greater dynamic range, greater AC voltage and power gain-bandwidth products and a lower base access resistance than prior art narrow band-gap bipolar transistors.
