Title :
A new type transistor tetrode
Author :

Abstract :
The density of injected current from the emitter of a junction transistor is never uniform over the emitter area because of the biasing effect of base current. In a normal three terminal transistor, the result is to decrease the effective emitter voltage at distances far away from the base contact. In a normal tetrode, the emission is squeezed towards one of the base contacts with a net decrease in the base resistance.
