Abstract
755,456. Semi-conductor devices. RADIO CORPORATION OF AMERICA. April 23, 1954 [May 22, 1953], No. 11837/54. Class 37. A semi-conductor device comprises two regions of one conductivity-type with an intermediate zone of opposite conductivity type having variable conductivity along the line joining the two regions, the region of greatest conductivity being adjacent one of the two regions. Fig. 1 shows a transistor comprising emitter zone 12 and collector zone 16 of P-type material, and a base zone comprising a thinhigh-conductivity portion 18 and a lowerconductivity portion 20 both of N-type material. The base electrode is connected to portion 18. The arrangement provides low base resistance, low emitter input capacitance (due to the short diffusion path provided by the thin portion 18) and relatively high collector breakdown voltage (due to the high resistivity and space charge layer in portion 20). The semiconductor body may be prepared by successively alloying and diffusing donor and acceptor impurities into a layer of material of one conductivity type, or by growing a crystal from a melt the composition of which is modified to form regions of the desired type, or by bombardment with charged particles. Germanium and silicon are given as examples of semi-conductor material; indium, aluminium, gallium, boron or zinc as acceptors and antimony, bismuth, arsenic, selenium, tellurium and phosphorus as donors.
