Abstract
Control of the cathode current is used to achieve an electric-field bias above the negative-resistance threshold field on an extended length of GaAs epitaxial layer grown on a semi-insulating substrate. The cathode current is controlled with a Schottky-barrier contact strip parallel to the cathode.
