  • Abstract
    Improvements in the operation of a transistor-like structure with an IMPATT collector are examined. The proposed name for the device is an IMPISTOR. For a given emitter stripewidth in a transistor-like structure, the IMPISTOR should operate at a frequency between five and ten times higher than for a normal transistor.
