Abstract:
Disclosed is a semiconductor device comprising at least two semiconductor elements integrally connected by an insulator, each semiconductor showing negative differential conductivity under the influence of a high electric field. A high electric field domain or space charges which are generated in one of the semiconductor elements can be transferred to the other element by directly affecting the other element via an insulator.
Abstract:
The invention disclosed is for a method and apparatus for controlling high electric field domain in a bulk semiconductor as well as an information processing method thereby. By means of a capacitive electrode, the high electric field domain may be either sustained or extinguished.
