Abstract
Interest has been revived in the silicon metal-base transistor because of significant progress in growing thin, single-crystal metal films on silicon. The unique properties of silicides are described and the possibility of attaining ballistic transport in silicides is discussed. The use of the metal-base transistor as a physical probe is considered.
