Abstract

851,075. Semi-conductor devices. TELEFUNKEN G.m.b.H. Dec. 18, 1956 [Dec. 24, 1955], No. 38539/56. Class 37 In a semi-conductor device comprising a body of semi-conductor material with a minority carrier emitter and opposite to it a collector, a significant impurity gradient other than zero is provided throughout the entire body in a plane perpendicular to the average direction of the minority carrier paths to render these paths parallel. In the alloy junction transistor shown in Fig. 1, the amount of excess donor impurity decreases continuously as shown from the centre of the body to the circular base connection 8. The effect of the impurity gradient is to provide a focussing electric field which renders the transit times of minority carriers between the emitter and collector more uniform. The semi-conductor base body of a point contact diode may be differentially doped in the same manner. Suitably doped bodies may be formed by diffusion of impurities from the surface. Specification 721,671 is referred to.
