Abstract

Energy responsive apparatus in which a semiconductor is in contact with an energy transmissive conductor. An electrode with insulated face and side surfaces has an uninsulated surface in contact with the semiconductor, and a further electrode is in contact with the energy transmissive conductor and the semiconductor simultaneously. Or the energy transmissive conductor is in simultaneous further contact with the semiconductor and the further electrode. The insulator is an oxide of the electrode material.
