Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
59 words
A semiconductor device as claimed in claim 1 in which the semiconductor compounds in the respective parts comprise deviations from their stoichiometric ratios, said deviations consisting in one compound having an excess of the element which the other compound contains relatively more and the other compound having an excess of the element which the one compound contains relatively more.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
24 words
A semiconductor device as claimed in claim 1 in which the semiconductor body comprises at least two heterojunctions which extend parallel to each other.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
A semiconductor device as claimed in claim 1 in which the semiconducTor body is bounded on at least one side by a contact layer which consists of one of the two compounds and connects the parts of the relative compound in the body together.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
A semiconductor device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the elements are Sn and Se and the compounds consists of tin selenide (SnSe) and tin diselenide (SnSe2).
