  • Abstract
    Fabrication and microwave performance of a multiple-state resonant-tunneling bipolar transistor (RTBT) are presented. This transistor exhibits a maximum DC current gain of 60 at room temperature and a cutoff frequency of 24 GHz. Frequency multiplication by a factor of five has been demonstrated with a single transistor.<>
