Abstract :
The compensated cryosar is a negative-resistance two-terminal device utilizing a bulk effect in germanium at liquid helium temperatures. Its bistable nature, and the ease with which it can be fabricated in large arrays recommend it for application to computer memory systems. However, careful consideration of device and circuit parameters is necessary if a successful large memory is to be achieved.
