Abstract
Disclosed is a transistor having a base, a substrate, and a collector between the substrate and the base. The collector has a first region of a first thickness under the base and is made up of a first dopant type having a substantially constant doping concentration across the first thickness. A second region with a second thickness under the first region is made up of a second dopant type that is different from the first dopant type and has a substantially constant doping concentration across the second thickness. A third region with a third thickness under the second region is made up of the second dopant type with a graded doping concentration that is a function of increasing distance from the second region through the third thickness. An emitter is located over the base opposite the collector.
