A SEMICONDUCTOR PULSE COUNTER

A semiconductor pulse counter utilizing the decimal system consists of an n-type semiconducter bar with a nonrectifying contact at either end. Between these contacts are 10 p-n junctions. A bias d-c voltage is applied across the contacts, setting up a linear potential distribution in the bar. The voltage current chanacteristic measured between the negatively biased contact and each of the p-n junctions is typical of the double base diode and presents a segment with negatLve resistance. This characteristic admits the work of a junction in two stable states: in the reverse state of very high resistance, or in the conducting state of very low resistance. (L.N.N.)
