A method for fabricating heterojunction bipolar transistors that exhibit simultaneous low base resistance and short base transit times, which translate into semiconductor devices with low power consumption and fast switching times, is presented. The method comprises acts for fabricating a set of extrinsic layers by depositing a highly-doped p+ layer on a substrate, depositing a masking layer on highly-doped p+ layer, patterning the masking layer with a masking opening, removing a portion of the highly-doped p+ layer and the substrate through the masking opening in the masking layer to form a well, and growing an intrinsic layered device in the well by a combination of insitu etching and epitaxial regrowth, where an intrinsic layer has a thickness selected independently from a thickness of its corresponding extrinsic layer, thus allowing the resulting device to have thick extrinsic base layer (low base resistance) and thin intrinsic base layer (short base transit times) simultaneously.
