DEFINITION
Classification: 228/123.1
Semiconductor-type nonmetallic material:
(under subclass 122.1) Process wherein the nonmetal part exhibits asymmetrical voltage-current conduction characteristics due to either: (a) the presence, in the crystal lattice of constituent material, of mobile electrons
or electron vacancies (i.e., holes) in the valance shells of atoms of the material; or (b) the presence of a layer of interface in mutual contact with two adjacent conductors.
