Definition of "HBT" |
Heterojunction bipolar transistor / Heterojunction bipolar transistor, / The heterojunction bipolar transistor is a type of bipolar junction transistor which uses differing semiconductor materials for the emitter and base regions, creating a heterojunction. The HBT improves on the BJT in that it can handle signals of very high frequencies, up to several hundred GHz. It is commonly used in modern ultrafast circuits, mostly radio-frequency (RF) systems, and in applications requiring a high power efficiency, such as RF power amplifiers in cellular phones. The idea of employing a heterojunction is as old as the conventional BJT, dating back to a patent from 1951. / See heterojunction bipolar transistor. |
