Silicon heterojunction bipolar transistors with wide band-gap amorphous semiconductor emitters

Firstly, the motivation behind the silicon HBT is discussed, followed by an investigation of tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) as a possible heteroemitter material. Silicon HBTs with n-type ta-C as a heteroemitter in npn transistors were studied first. Transistor action occurred, but the current g...
