Class Information
Number: 257/497
Name: Active solid-state devices (e.g., transistors, solid-state diodes) > Punchthrough structure device (e.g., punchthrough transistor, camel barrier diode)
Description: Subject matter having at least one active pn, Schottky barrier, or other rectifying junction which can be reverse biased to produce a depletion layer, the active junction being spaced from a second junction by a layer of semiconductor material in which the depletion region extending from the active junction is produced, the second junction being one capable of supplying minority carriers to the layer of semiconductor material upon forward bias of the second junction, and in which the second junction is located sufficiently close to the active junction that the depletion region from the active junction can reach the second junction, thereby forward biasing the second junction and causing the injection of minority carriers therefrom which traverse the depletion layer and reach the active junction.
