A transistor is proposed in which hot electrons cross a degenerate semiconductor base region and overcome a potential barrier in the bulk of the semiconductor which forms a collector. Structures in silicon corresponding to this concept have been fabricated using low-energy ion implantation and have given transistor action consistent with hot-electron transport.
