The ballistic collection transistor is the bipolar transistor exhibiting a ballistic conduction resulting in significant velocity overshoot.[1] Initial demonstration of ballistic conduction in gallium arsenide was done in 1985 by IBM researchers.[2] The amplifier with 40 GHz bandwidth based on heterojunction bipolar transistor gallium arsenide technology implementing ballistic collection transistors was developed in 1994 by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone researchers.[3]
