Abstract:
Stable high frequency oscillating and amplifying devices are prepared from bulk semiconductor materials which have a positive differential conductivity at relatively low frequencies and a negative differential conductivity in some ranges of relatively high frequencies. The materials used are further characterized in that there is charge carrier transfer or population redistribution from a lower mobility band or low mobility impurity level to a higher mobility band, an effect opposite to that of Gunn effect devices. Materials suitable for the devices of this invention may be selected from a representative group of suitably doped III-V compounds, for example, N-type InSb, N-type alloys of the form InxGa1 xAs, where 0.53
Abstract:
THE NEGATIVE RESISTANCE CIRCUIT INCLUDES A BODY OF N-TYPE GALLIUM ARSENIDE HAVING AN EXCESS CARRIER CONCENTRATION (NO) AND LENGTH (L) SUCH THAT THE BODY EXHIBITS BULK NEGATIVE DIFFERENTIAL CONDUCTIVITY BUT DOES NOT INHERENTLY PRODUCE TRAVELING HIGH FIELD DOMAINS. A P-TYPE CONTACT IS MADE BETWEEN THE FIRST REGION AND CATHODE TO FORM A SECOND REGION OF HIGH RESISTANCE. THE P CONTACT IS SELECTIVELY BIASED TO CAUSE A HIGH FIELD TO SHIFT BETWEEN THE SECOND REGION AND A THIRD REGION BETWEEN THE FIRST REGION AND ANODE. THE SHIFTING BETWEEN REGIONS IS CONTROLLED BY THE BIAS TO PRODUCE EITHER HIGH FREQUENCY OSCILLATIONS OR BISTABILITY.

1521860 Electro-deposited patterns INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 16 Nov 1977 [30 Dec 1976] 47675/77 Heading C7B Electrically conductive metal films are electrodeposited on a substrate in a predetermined pattern by first photochemically depositing on the substrate an organic #-electron donor halide salt, e.g.: followed by metal electro-deposition, the electrodeposition being accompanied by the simultaneous removal of the organic salt.
Abstract:
An injection laser, whose sides are chemically etched to produce facing 45 DEG mirrors, can be made to emit lasing light in the same direction as current going through the p-n junction. A two dimensional array of lasers is produced wherein the location of each laser is uniformly spaced from an adjacent laser.
Abstract:
INTEGRATED PHOTOELECTRICAL CONVERSION Photoelectric conversion cells, wherein the individual cells are thermally connected to and electrically isolated from an electrically conducting heat sink, may be connected in integrated array form by forming individual planar devices and interconnecting in situ on an electrically insulating substrate which is thermally bonded to the heat sink.
Abstract:
A METHOD OF DEPOSITING METAL CONDUCTING PATTERNS ON LARGE AREA SURFACES A method of depositing conducting patterns on a large area surface is disclosed. The method is characterized by photochemically depositing an electrically conducting organic .pi.-electron donor compound on an insulating surface and selectively depositing a metal onto the established conductive pattern while simultaneously removing the organic film. The method permits the fabrication of continuous fine conducting lines for the production of display devices such as gas panels.
Abstract:
A photoresponsive device comprises (a) a device body having two opposed parallel major surfaces, (b) a photoresponsive semiconductor active region along a first major surface, (c) a region of electrically insulating material epitaxial with the active regions, separating it from the second major surface, and (d) a heat sink bonded to the second major surface. Used esp. for photoelectric conversion cell arrays. The integral insulator may be much smaller than separate insulators allowing max. thermal conduction, and full use can be made of the accurate control of diffusion and vapour deposition techniques.
