Abstract
795,466. Semi-conductor devices. SIEMENS & HALSKE AKT.-GES. and ALLGEMEINE ELECTRICITATS GES. Oct. 21, 1954 [Oct. 21, 1953; July 14, 1954], No. 30373/54. Class 37. The conductivity of the base zone of a junction transistor varies in a direction from the emitter to the collector so as to provide a continuous electric field across the base zone. The conductivity variation may be produced by providing variation of impurity concentration across the zone and/or by employing two materials for the semi-conductor body which have different energy gaps, and varying the semi-conductor composition across the zone. The change in impurity concentration may be exponential, being greatest at the emitter junction, and may be produced by diffusing. one or more types of impurity into the surface from the emitter side. Emitter and collector junction and electrodes may then be provided by alloying into the surface, a further impurity characteristic of the opposite conductivity type. A zone of varying composition of materials with different energy gaps, such as silicon and germanium, may be produced by directional cooling of a melt comprising both materials, or by applying a melt of the material with the lowest melting point against a body of the other material (Si) and heating so that the silicon starts to melt at the interface. In order to achieve a desired rate of change of composition (e.g. a linear variation of energy gap to provide a constant field), germanium may be added to the remaining molten silicon. Each material may be separately doped such as by adding boron to the germanium and antimony to the silicon. These impurities have different segregation constants, and therefore a PN junction may be provided during the freezing process; if the difference in segregation coefficients is sufficient, a second PN junction may be achieved to provide a PNP or NPN unit. The semi-conductor material may consist of compounds of the type A III B V . Specification 755,456 is referred to.
