Abstract

Homojunction transistors are transistors that have been fabricated from a pure semiconductor. There are, in principle, two ways to increase the operating speed of homojunction field-effect and bipolar transistors: reduce the length of the transistor’s operating area (gate, emitter, base) to the greatest possible extent and use semiconductors which have high carrier mobility and maximum drift velocity.
