Abstract

886,340. Transistors. SIEMENS & HALSKE A.G. Sept. 23, 1960 [Sept. 25, 1959], No. 32748/60. Class 37. A transistor comprises a semi-conductor body with alloyed emitter and collector electrodes on respective parts of opposite surfaces, the carrier lifetime of the material being longer in the base region between the emitter and collector electrodes than in portions remote from this region. This may be achieved as shown in Fig. 1 by alloying a copper or nickel annular base electrode 2 to the periphery of the semi-conductor body 1 to provide recombination centres in that portion of the base zone adjacent the base electrode. Emitter 3 and collector 4 are provided by alloying indium to the N-type germanium body 1. Alternatively, the whole semi-conductor body may first be provided with a uniform distribution of recombination centres produced by a suitable impurity and the material and alloying process used to provide the emitter and collector electrodes being such that the recombination centre forming impurity is absorbed from the body into the metallic portion of the electrode so providing a longer lifetime region between these two electrodes. The emitter and collector electrodes may be provided by an indium-gallium alloy or a tin-antimony alloy used with P-type germanium. The invention reduces the relaxation time in switching operations. The thickness of the base layer may be 10 to 50 Á.
