Abstract

Abstract This is a semiconductor device consisting of a material which exhibits high field instability effects when a potential which exceeds a critical value is applied across the device. Electronic means to vary the conductivity profile along the domain path is provided by having rectifying junctions along the side of the device to vary the minority carrier injections from one or more of the localized PN-junctions.
