Abstract

907,490. Semi-conductor devices; capacitors. SIEMENS & HALSKE A.G. Aug. 19, 1960 [Aug. 20, 1959], No. 28783/60. Class 37. A ceramic barrier layer capacitor comprises a semiconductor body having at least two zones of different resistivity, the thickness of the transition region between these zones being so small compared with the thickness of the higher resistivity zone, that under normal bias conditions the space-charge zone extends across the whole of the higher resistivity zone so that capacity does not vary with voltage. Fig. 2 shows a PIN diode in which the thickness of the transition regions between P and I and I and N is thin compared with the width of the intrinsic region. The centre region may be weak N or weak P type instead of intrinsic. Under operating conditions the working range of the applied voltage is such that with reverse bias the space-charge layer just fills the centre zone. An alternative embodiment describes an N-, N, N- or P-, P, P-construction with rectifying electrodes at each end contacting the lowconductivity zones. This may be produced by oxidizing the end surfaces of a reduced, sintered, ferro-electric, ceramic body to form weak conductivity zones. The rectifying electrodes may consist of silver layers. The arrangement provides a barrier layer capacitor in which the capacity is not variable with voltage (since the width of the space-charge layer remains substantially constant) so that for example two A.C. signals may be applied in series to the device without having a modulating effect.
