Abstract
A new type of GaAs lateral bipolar transistor has been developed by introducing an n-i-p-i-n structure where the electric field is applied perpendicular to the direction of carrier injection in order for the carriers to be separated. The diffusion length is increased owing to the increase of lifetime due to the spatial separation of injected carriers, resulting in the increase of current gain.
