Abstract: La présente invention concerne un transistor bipolaire à hétérojonction qui, dans un mode de réalisation exemplaire, comprend une base renfermant une concentration (424) d'un premier matériau à une première profondeur (416), à laquelle le premier matériau empêche la diffusion d'un dopant de base.  Par exemple, le premier matériau peut être du carbone et le dopant de base peut être du bore.  Le premier matériau entraîne également une modification de la largeur de bande interdite à la première profondeur (416) dans la base.  Dans le mode de réalisation exemplaire précité, la base comprend en outre une concentration (426) d'un second matériau, la concentration de second matériau augmentant à la première profondeur afin de neutraliser la modification de la largeur de bande interdite.  Par exemple, le second matériau peut être du germanium.  La concentration (426) de second matériau peut, par exemple, augmenter à la première profondeur (416) d'une quantité nécessaire pour entraîner une réduction de la largeur de bande interdite qui soit sensiblement égale à l'augmentation de la largeur de bande interdite entraînée par la concentration (424) du premier matériau.
