Class Information
Number: 310/303
Name: Electrical generator or motor structure > Non-dynamoelectric > Nuclear reaction > P-n semiconductor
Description: Subject matter comprising two intimately united semiconductor materials, one of the N type and one of the P type, and a radioactive source which irradiates the semiconductor materials to liberate charge carriers (electrons and holes) therein which flow under the influence of the field across the junction of the semiconductor materials to be collected on opposite sides of the junction and thus, provide a source of current for an external load.
