  • Abstract
    The discovery of an extremely fast relaxation oscillation in a junction transistor led to a study of this mode of operation. It was found that the high speed of operation was due to a combination of multiplication and punch-through. The paper describes the static and dynamic properties of transistors which operate in this mode, and discusses the design and application of such transistors.
