Abstract

A heterojunction bipolar transistor is provided having an improved current gain cutoff frequency. The heterojunction bipolar transistor includes a graded base layer formed from antimony. The graded base allows the heterojunction bipolar transistor to establish a quasi-electric field to yield an improved cutoff frequency.
