Abstract
Very thin n + layers of semiconductor (spike doping) may be used to control the potential difference between microelectronic components while not significantly modifying any nonequilibrium distributions of electron energy or momentum across their extent. The authors demonstrate this general principle with the example of a hot electron injection Gunn diode
