Abstract

458,889. Static contact rectifiers. NAAMLOOZE VENNOOTSCHAP PHILIPS' GLOEILAMPENFABRIEKEN, Emmasingel, Eindhoven, Holland. March 23, 1936, No. 8632. Convention date, June 1, 1935. Drawings to Specification. [Class 37] In a rectifier comprising two electrodes of different electron-emissive power separated by a thin intermediate layer of solid non- conducting material, an additional layer of specific resistance higher than that of the semi-conductor, or electrode of lower emissivepower, is interposed between this electrode and the nonconducting layer. This additional layer preferably comprises a substance containing at least one of the ingredients from which the semi-conducting electrode is made. Thus in a rectifier using cuprous oxide, as the semi conductor, the surface is reduced or electrically treated to form a layer of higher specific resistance In another example silver sulphide is superficially treated with sulphur. In a selenium-aluminium oxide compound plate the selenium in the surface layer may be removed by volatilization giving a thin, more highly resistant layer. Specification 378,444 is referred to.
