at the Central Bureau of Telecommunications Technology of the German Postal Service, in 1953, it continues to influence the design of modern high-speed bipolar junction transistors.
64:
Early drift transistors were made by diffusing the base dopant in a way that caused a higher doping concentration near the emitter reducing towards the collector.
92: 75:
Another way to speed the base transit time of this type of transistor is to vary the band gap across the base, e.g. in the SiGe BJT the base of Si
67:
This graded base happens automatically with the double diffused planar transistor (so they aren't usually called drift transistors).

can be grown with η approx 0.2 by the collector and reducing to 0 near the emitter (keeping the dopant concentration constant).
