=0AI stand corrected.  You are right.  I think IBM is even developing a=
 similar
technology for RF apps in Silicon Germanium...

Not sure why I didn't remember that.

Correction
I am in the power electronics field and I assure you that there are Tra=
nsistors
with gates.
They are called IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors). These devic=
es are
very common is power electronics, reason: Good on state charactaristics=
 (High
current [up to 3kA] low on-state voltage [<2.5V]), High blocking voltag=
e
[recently 3.6kV], Easy turn on and of [mosfet input characteristics].

The easy turn-on and off is the major advantage, if you ussed an BJT th=
at could
conduct 3kA with  Beta of 5 then you base current would be 600A !!!! co=
ol!!!
what a large base drive circuit you need, not even to think of the loss=
ed in
you circuit !!!!

Cheers
Carlo

 No dis-respect intended (absolutely no flame) but I can't let this one=
 slide...
I work with transistors every day-  never heard of a bipolar one with a=
 "gate"
and certainly never heard of any transistor getting turned on by a magn=
etic
field (at least not one of practical magnitude).

OK--  thyristors (SCR's and Triacs)  may be considered bipolar devices =
and do
have terminals labeled "gate"---   I wouldn't call these things bipolar=

transistors though.

Many electronic devices can be activated by an *electric* field and mos=
t
certainly by light... (as is the case with the phototransistor (or any
transistor))


Here is what "Physics"  second Edition by Tipler says:
-----------------------
"The force exerted by a magnetic field on a current-carrying wire is ac=
tually
exerted directly on the charge carriers in the wire, the electrons.  Th=
e force
is transferred to the wire by the forces which bind the electrons to th=
e wire
at the surface.  Since the charge carriers themselves experience the ma=
gnetic
force when a current-carrying wire is in a magnetic field, the carriers=
 are
accelerated toward one side of the wire.  This phenomenon, called the H=
all
Effect, allows us to determine  the sign of the charge on the carrier..=
....  It
also provides a convenient method for measuring magnetic fields.  "
-----------------------
The section goes on to discuss how you can measure this Hall effect (th=
e higher
density of electrons at one edge of the conductor)  by measuring the vo=
ltage
difference across the end of a flat bar carrying current in a magnetic =
field.

Note that there is no transient behavior here-   only a presence of a m=
agnetic
field and a current carrying conductor.

Just in case anyone else was interested...

comments invited.

What  I recall of Hall Effect devices:

A bipolar transister
Gate can be turned on by the presence of a magnetic field.
The hardwired gate connection can be biased to alter the magnetic "turn=
-on"
threshold.

Similar to a photo-transistor in operating theory.

Tom Butler
