摘要:
An avalanche photodiode including a substrate, a first semiconductor region of a first conductivity type having a relatively large band gap, a second semiconductor region of a second conductivity type having a relatively large band gap, and a third semiconductor region of the first conductivity type having a band gap smaller than the band gap of the first and second semiconductor regions, is disclosed in which, in order to suppress an increase in dark current and to cause the avalanche photodiode to operate on a low voltage, a fourth semiconductor region equal in conductivity type to and larger in impurity concentration than the first semiconductor region is formed in the first semiconductor region at a position below a central portion of a pn junction formed between the first semiconductor region and the second semiconductor region. The avalanche photodiode formed with this structure has low-noise and low operation voltage characteristics.

摘要:
A photoconductive target having a transparent electrode layer and a photoconductive layer on a transparent substrate is disposed opposite to a group of integrated electron beam emitters having gate electrodes. A number of the electron emitters are activated to apply electron beams to the photoconductive target and the activated ones of the electron beam emitters are temporally changed over by an electron emitter selector circuit and a gate selector circuit. Signal charge generated and stored in the photoconductive layer is read. A time-series electric signal corresponding to a spatial distribution of the incident light is generated. A thin imaging apparatus suitable for a larger area is thus provided.

The piezoelectric resonator of this invention consists of a piezoelectric ceramic plate which is polarized in the direction of thickness over the entire plate, two split electrodes are formed on one main surface of the piezoelectric ceramic plate, and an electrode is formed on the entire main surface opposed to the above main surface on which are formed the split electrodes. When an operating voltage is supplied to the above two split electrodes, the piezoelectric ceramic plate between the two split electrodes and the other electrode undergoes resonance in a thickness dilatational mode with a phase difference of 180.degree..

Piezoelectric ceramics containing PbO and TiO.sub.2 as its principal constituents, and further containing 0.5 to 3.7 mol-% of Nd.sub.2 O.sub.3 and 0.2 to 1.5 mol-% of MnO.sub.2. Since the piezoelectric ceramics is low in the dielectric constant and is especially small in the temperature coefficient of the delay of surface acoustic waves, it is suitable for a surface acoustic wave device. Piezoelectric ceramics in which 0.3 to 3.3 mol-% of In.sub.2 O.sub.3 is further added to the above-mentioned composition has a still smaller temperature coefficient of the delay of surface acoustic waves, and it is also possible to make this coefficient zero.
