Abstract

1386178 Semi-conductor devices SIEMENS AG 7 Sept 1972 [28 Sept 1971] 41448/72 Heading H1K Conditions under which a "positive hole" Gunn effect can occur in a drift field region 8 between electrodes 4, 6 on the surface of an elemental (Si or Ge) semi-conductor body 2 are induced by the presence of an electric field applied transversely across the drift field region 8. The transverse field causes the valence band in the region 8 to be split, resulting in formation of a sub-band populated with high mobility positive holes (light holes). The sub-band light hole population and the energy split between bands increases with increasing transverse field strength. Preferably the transverse field is applied by means of a gate electrode 10 capacitively coupled through insulating layer 12 to the region 8. In addition mechanical stress may be induced at the interface of the region 8 and the insulation 12, e.g. by virtue of the differing thermal coefficients of expansion of the respective materials, in order to increase the valence band splitting. For a Si body 2 the insulation 12 may be aluminium oxide or silicon nitride.
