  • Abstract
    To summarize a novel nitride based HET with InAIN as the emitter layer is demonstrated. These devices show an excellent common base transfer ratio of 0.96 0.97 and operation in the CE configuration. Nitride based HETs due to the thin base transit region, and high electron injection velocity could offer advantages as high speed RF devices.
