Abstract
We consider the high-frequency operation of an abrupt- heterojunction transistor with ballistic transport in the base. The fundamental frequency cutoff in such devices is shown to be limited by the dispersion in the minority-carrier times of flight across the base, rather than the average time of flight itself.
