TLDR
In this article, a pressure sensitive transistor whose emitter or collector junction is formed by use of a Schottky barrier junction is described, wherein the current through the transistor changes in accordance with the applied pressure when pressure is applied to said junction by pressure applying means.
Abstract
Disclosed is a pressure-sensitive transistor whose emitter or collector junction is formed by use of a Schottky barrier junction and wherein the current through the transistor changes in accordance with the applied pressure when pressure is applied to said junction by pressure applying means. Such a transistor is advantageous in that a high pressure-to-current conversion factor is obtained, little noise is generated at the junction, and the reverse leakage current appearing at the junction is extremely small.
