Heterojunction

A heterojunction is an interface between two layers or regions of dissimilar semiconductors.

See Herbert Kroemer and Heterojunction

Heterojunction bipolar transistor

A heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) is a type of bipolar junction transistor (BJT) that uses different semiconductor materials for the emitter and base regions, creating a heterojunction.

See Herbert Kroemer and Heterojunction bipolar transistor

Hot-carrier injection

Hot carrier injection (HCI) is a phenomenon in solid-state electronic devices where an electron or a “hole” gains sufficient kinetic energy to overcome a potential barrier necessary to break an interface state.
