    The generalized Rankine-Hugoniot relations resulting from the charge conservation law are applied to describe the essential features of contact discontinuities which occur in semiconductor exhibiting negative differential mobility and also the avalanche shock waves in the TRAPATT mode of operation of avalanche diodes.
