Static induction transistors

The characteristic of the device shows similar behavior to that of a static induction transistor (SIT) (Figures 2.11 and 2.12) [99]. Therefore we evaluated the amplification factor we found by modifying the equation proposed for the SIT ... 

A photo-electric converter which incorporates the principles of a static induction transistor is disclosed in US-A-4427990. Two dimensional imagers making use of the photo-electric converter are also presented. 

An imager using Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor gate Static Induction Transistors (MISSIT) formed in silicon, for read-out and refresh, and having a photo detecting layer of HgCdTe is presented in EP-A-0038697. 

In EP-A-0094973 a storing capacitor is connected either to the gate, the source or the drain of the static induction transistor. 

The static induction transistor (or SIT), popularized in organic semiconductors by Kudo and colleagues [108], overcomes this bottleneck by sending charge vertically through the device instead of laterally as shown in Fig. 5.8.
