Abstract

1,181,345. Semi-conductor devices. TRW INC. 27 May, 1968 [1 June, 1967], No. 25268/68. Heading H1K. 5 A thin film device comprises a conductive grid disposed in a layer of insulating material between anode and cathode layers. Means other than modification of the potential barrier between cathode and insulator are provided to cause emission of electrons from the cathode with the anode and grid biased positively and negatively respectively relative to the cathode. Thus the cathode may be made photo-emissive or, as in the preferred embodiment (Fig. 3a) emission is effected with the aid of a further electrode 50 spaced from the cathode layer 54 by a layer 52 of insulation thin enough to permit tunneling and biased negatively with respect to it by a constant current circuit. Emission is thus made independent of grid potential, enabling a greatly enhanced current transfer ratio to be obtained by operating with the grid biased negatively in contrast to prior devices. The device is operable to temperatures of 500‹ C.
