  • Abstract
    Improved characteristics of the GaInAs/InP hot electron transistor (HET) fabricated by organo-metallic vapour phase epitaxy (OMVPE) are reported. The common-emitter current gain was 8 for the base thickness of 40 nm at 77 K. This result shows a promising potential for the heterostructure material system of GaInAs/InP for high-speed ballistic electron devices.
