Abstract
The transferred-electron effect in the collector region of heterojunction bipolar transistors is investigated. Conditions necessary for observation of Gunn instabilities are analysed and it is shown that stability of the conventional III-V HBT is ensured by the Kirk effect which occurs at a similar threshold current density as the Gunn effect.
