Abstract

The Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) is not a new device. In the late 1940's W. Shockley1 gave the basic ideas and, about ten years later, H. Kroemer2 published the first paper to show the promising advantages of this new structure. The first device applications have been demonstrated in AlGaAs/GaAs materials, taking advantage of the natural lattice match in this system. Currently, high performance GaAs-based HBTs have been reported and the InP-based transistors are still promising. In this paper we will review the reasons why this device has required more than forty years of development and what its future can be in the InP-based materials systems.
