I read in sci.electronics.design that Jim Thompson
wrote (in k58f015dte50otru2ams8qavq858c3sl8b@

high frequencies signals)', on Mon, 7 Feb 2005:

No. Doping "sex" (of gold) is wrong for the N-type base, which is where
you're trying to induce recombination.

What to use, then? Ion-implanted krypton?
