A new semiconductor 3-terminal device has been realised in which a majority-carrier current, flowing in a N+-N-N+ structure, is controlled by a minority-carrier current supplied by a forward-biased P+-N junction. The properties of this device are presented and discussed in terms of a physical model.
A new 3-terminal switching device, based on the avalanche-injection effect, is proposed. Its working principle is confirmed both by theoretical and experimental results. Experimental switching times of the order of a nanosecond have been observed.
