Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9610844A1] A bipolar transistor for use in Class A and Class AB linear amplifiers with reduced third order and higher harmonic frequency distortion of an input signal includes a semiconductor substrate (10) of a first conductivity type and a first dopant concentration, an epitaxial layer (11) of the first conductivity type formed on the semiconductor substrate, the epitaxial layer having a second dopant concentration less than the first dopant concentration. A base region (24) of a second conductivity type is formed in the epitaxial layer abutting a major surface with the base region having a depth, t. At least one emitter region (25) of the first conductivity type is formed in the base region and abuts the surface, the emitter region having a width, W, with a ratio of the emitter width, W, to base depth, t, being in the range of 3 to 4.
