Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT)

 

A bipolar junction semiconductor device that employs complex metalization structures in the junction to significantly increase electron mobility, resulting in a higher performance transistor. Most present commercial HBT devices are Gallium Arsenide based, but HBTs based on Germanium-doped Silicon or other structures are also possible. Most commonly, HBTs are used to create high performance medium power devices.
