Abstract
The safe-operating area (SOA) in a heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) is improved by providing a collector region in the transistor having a graded (uniformly or stepped) doping between the base region and the underlying subcollector region with the collector doping being lower near the base and higher near the subcollector and with the collector doping being less than the doping of the subcollector. The non-uniformly doped collector reduces Kirk effect induced breakdown when collector current increases.
