The operation of a new superlattice base bipolar transistor is reported. Negative transconductance in the common-base transfer characteristic is achieved at an emitter-base voltage in excellent agreement with the bias required to suppress tunnel injection into the first miniband. In the common emitter configuration a corresponding peak in the current gain of the device is obtained as the base current is increased.<<ETX>>
