Abstract
A new form of two-state switching device is proposed which is formed entirely within the semiconductor bulk during epitaxial growth. The predicted switching action is demonstrated using MBE-grown gallium arsenide and the device is shown to have optical sensitivity. The device is amenable to simple design rules and is free of the `forming¿ state often associated with the tunnel MIS switch.
