We measure the thermal-electric feedback coefficients of heterojunctio
n bipolar transistors (HBTs) grown by various sources and designed wit
h various epitaxial structures. These HBTs include Npn GalnP/GaAs, Npn
graded AlGaAs/GaAs HBTs, Npn abrupt AlGaAs/GaAs and Pnp AlGaAs/GaAs H
BTs. Despite the drastic difference in the HBTs under investigation, t
he measured thermal-electric feedback coefficients are not significant
ly different.
