Abstract

1,130,058. Semi-conductor devices. HUGHES AIRCRAFT CO. 11 Aug., 1967 [3 Oct., 1966], No. 37035/67. Heading H1K. A space-charge limited current triode comprises a thin film of semi-conductor material disposed on an insulating substrate 6 and having a first region 12 of one conductivity type between second regions 8, 10 of opposite type, the second regions being provided with respective source and drain electrodes 16, 18, the first region having an insulated gate electrode 20 overlying a portion of its surface, and protective means being provided for preventing the formation of a surface inducted conduction channel or inversion layer in the first region. The protective means may consist of a layer 32 of silicon nitride on the portion of the surface of the first region not covered by the gate electrode, or a container 30 which is evacuated or filled with an inert gas to prevent the formation on the exposed surface of the region of an oxide or other undesired layer which would induce an inversion layer. In the preferred embodiment the thin film is a 1 or 2Á silicon layer epitaxially deposited on a sapphire substrate, and the electrodes consist of aluminium. The gate electrode is insulated by a silicon oxide or nitride layer 14 which includes a thin strip 28 covering the junction between the regions 10 and 12.
