Abstract

Un interrupteur électronique comprend un semi-conducteur photosensible et une source de lumière qui, lorsqu'elle est actionnée, éclaire le semi-conducteur et permet à ce dernier de devenir conducteur, le semi-conducteur photosensible étant un mélange fritté comprenant de 63 à 74 % en poids de cadmium, de 16 à 24 % en poids de sélénium, de 8 à 14 % en poids de soufre, de 0,1 à 1 % en poids de chlore et de 0,005 à 0,1 % de cuivre.An electronic switch comprises a photosensitive semiconductor and a light source which, when activated, illuminates the semiconductor and allows the latter to become conductive, the photosensitive semiconductor being a sintered mixture comprising from 63 to 74 % by weight of cadmium, from 16 to 24% by weight of selenium, from 8 to 14% by weight of sulfur, from 0.1 to 1% by weight of chlorine and from 0.005 to 0.1% of copper.
