Notes:
Hot-electron transistors fabricated using a 600-A(ring) InGaAs base and a 500-A(ring) InAlAs barrier have shown a peak ballistic common base current gain of 0.82 at 77 K despite the large injection energies. Reduction of injection energies by lowering the emitter and collector barriers should lead to an even higher ballistic transport ratio due to the reduced Γ-L scattering.
