Abstract: An electroluminescent diode with a negative resistance characteristic at room temperature is obtained by establishing a host semiconductor substrate of gallium arsenide crystal with a deep level acceptor impurity such as manganese as the dominant dopant thereby obtaining a P-type semiconductor. On a surface of the gallium arsenide there is epitaxially grown, e.g., by vapor epitaxy, a region of gallium arsenide doped with an N-type dopant, e.g., tellurium. The latter region provides injection of electrons, the minority carriers, into the high-resistivity region when suitable voltage is applied across the diode. On another surface of the host gallium arsenide substrate removed from the tellurium doped region, a shallow level impurity such as zinc is diffused therein to obtain a region dominated thereby. The diffusion produces a high-resistivity zone bounded by the zinc and manganese dominant regions. At room temperature, e.g., 20* C., and below, the diode shows a high-series resistance at voltages beyond approximately 1 volt. When a critical breakdown voltage is reached, a negative resistance is obtained in which the current goes up with decreasing voltage. The switching speed of the diode from low- to high-current operations is less than 10 nanoseconds for an overvoltage of the order of 1 volt.

Abstract: A light-emitting device comprises an NPP zone structure in which the outer P region is doped with shallow level acceptors while the central zone contains deep level acceptors and is of higher resistivity than either outer zone. A typical device, Fig. 8, with a built-in injection luminescent diode is made by diffusing manganese, cobalt or chromium into a selenium, tellurium or silicon doped N-type gallium arsenide wafer. If one face of the wafer is not masked during the diffusion the P layer formed thereon is removed. The same result is more economically achieved by cutting the wafer in half. Zinc, cadmium or magnesium is then diffused into the wafer to a lesser depth to form P zones on both faces, the wafer diced and ohmic contacts made as shown to individual elements using tin on the N region and indium on the P zones. A reflective coating 56 directs light from diode 16-50 on to radiation sensitive element 12, 14, 16. Another embodiment is similar but lacks P region 50. In this case a separate radiation source is used and the device used as a light amplifier or, if the photons from the source are less energetic than those generated by the diode, as a quartum converter. The diode is made as described above except that the second P zone is removed or its formation avoided by masking, and may have a dichroic filter on its N surface to reflect back radiation generated within while admitting longer wavelength radiation from the source. In the Fig. 7 circuit, not shown, the incident radiation is chopped at a frequency less than that of the alternating voltage fed to the diode. A matrix of diodes may be used as an infra-red image converter or, if a gallium phosphide-arsenide alloy is used for the body to make infra-red images visible.

Abstract: An electroluminescent source comprises a P, P-, P, (or N, N-, N) semiconductor structure across which a potential is applied to produce avalanche breakdown in the intermediate region, whereby the resulting electron-hole recombination produces radiation. In Fig. 1 a P-type gallium-arsenide crystal doped with manganese has its end regions 4, 6 diffusion doped with zinc which results in two high resistivity P-type regions R1, R2 being formed at the boundary of the zinc doped layers. Ohmic electrodes 8, 10 are provided by alloying or plating indium or similar metal. The sides of the body may be polished to provide an optical cavity to effect laser action and alternating current may be used for excitation.
