Abstract
An electric field controlled semiconductor diode comprises a semiconductor substrate with a uniform anode injecting region formed in one major surface of the substrate and a current controlling surface grid formed in the other major surface. The interstices of the grid include a cathode region of high injection efficiency. Means for controlling flow of electrical current between the anode and cathode regions is also described.
