Abstract

953,339. Semi-conductor devices; circuit assemblies. CESKOSLOVENSKA AKADEMIC VED. May 20, 1960 [May 26, 1959], No. 17786/60. Headings H1K and H1R. In a PN junction device cooled by the Peltier effect produced in a thermocouple by at least part of the current which also flows through the junction device the thermocouple forms a rectifying junction with the semi-conductor material of the junction device. In one embodiment a junction transistor comprising an annular base contact 9, emitter 12, and collector 8 has its collector junction cooled by Peltier cooling produced at the cold junction of the thermocouple 4, 3 by the collector current. The thermocouple includes semi-conductor pillars 4 joined by a metal ring 3 which makes contact with the base zone of the transistor through a PN junction 7. A similarly cooled PN junction rectifier or photo-diode is shown in Fig. 1. In both embodiments the cooling effect increases with the operating current of the device and thus with its heat dissipation thereby ensuring a substantially constant operating temperature.
