Zusammenfassung:The profound influence of Herbert Kroemer's ideas on the development of high-performance bipolar transistors is described. The historical context and subsequent development of innovations such as the drift base, achieved through concentration gradients and later with semiconductor bandgap grading, the use of wide bandgap emitters, concepts of collector-up transistors, and the introduction of new heterojunction materials, are reviewed.
