Abstract
Trigger cell behavior results from the occurrence of n-type and p-type germanium in the same crystal, so arranged that both are in the contact circuit. This photocell is especially well adapted for use in the field of on-off devices and, as its on-current is high enough to develop useful power in low resistances, it can actuate short-time constant computer circuits without preamplifiers and cathode followers.
