Anyone recommend any NPN transistors with around 0.1-0.3VBE sat. ?

I did a mouser search but apparently Vbe sat. isn't a commonly specified
parameter... ?

Thanks,

Base to emitter voltage at saturation?

Or do you mean Vce_sat, the _collector_ to emitter voltage at saturation?

Zetex and others make the latter in small sizes. The former can't be
done in silicon.
