Bipolar transistor with lateral emitter and collector and method of production

A bipolar transistor includes a substrate of semiconductor material, a high-mobility layer in the substrate, and a donor layer adjacent to the high-mobility layer. An emitter terminal forms an emitter contact on the donor layer, and a collector terminal forms a collector contact on the donor layer. A base terminal is electrically conductively connected with the high-mobility layer. The transistor can be produced in a HEMT technology or BiFET technology in GaAs
