Abstract
820,903. Semi-conductor devices. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES Ltd. Jan. 4, 1957 [Jan. 9, 1956], No. 463/57. Class 37. A negative resistance semi-conductor junction diode comprises an NPNP body, the two intermediate zones 4, 5 having a thickness substantially less than the diffusion length, and each being free of any electrical connection except those to its adjacent semi-conductor zones. The voltage/current characteristic of the device has high and low current regions allowing for pulse switching operation. The resistivity of the end regions must not be less than that of the intermediate regions. A crystal growing process for pulling a germanium crystal doped successively with antimony and gallium is described. The semi-conductor may also consist of silicon or aluminium antimonide. Leads may be attached to the device utilizing a flux of ammonium zinc chloride. The theoretical aspect of the invention is discussed.
