Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve a device in its performance characteristics by a method wherein a collector barrier is constituted of a superlatice for an improved transfer ratio or current amplification factor. CONSTITUTION:A collector barrier is built of a superlattice in this design. In an appropriately designed superlattice, an auxiliary conduction band is gener ated, wherein electrons may be in presence, under a normal conduction band. In a collector barrier 12, there exist auxiliary conduction bands 1 and 2. Upon application of bias voltages VBE and VCB, those equipped with energy higher than that of the collector barrier 12, out of electrons 3 that have tunneled through an emitter barrier 14, arrive at a collector 16 and, as for those equipped with energy lower than that of the collector barrier 12, they can also arrive at the collector 16 though only after passing through the auxiliary conduction band 1 or 2. In this way, probability is lowered of electrons' being stopped by the collector barrier 12, which results in an increased transfer ratio or current amplification factor.

21 (71j 1985. t'757 Reference HjET) For the operation of HjET (2nd, between the emitter base 14 and the pace flfter (:, dog pass X ass compression V1!, VCB is applied. In HET, the emitter 100-3 to barrier
Since the thickness of the barrier is 00A and the height of the barrier is Q, about 3ev, when the electric field is heated, the electrons at the emitter undergo a tunneling effect (double pass through and are injected into the pace. Like this (= If nine electrons are injected, all the scattered particles will lose energy, but the collector barrier energy τ) will reach the collector.VB Therefore, the collector current changes and transistor operation is performed.
