In a single crystal of semiconductor the impurity concentration may vary fromp‐type ton‐type producing a mechanically continuous rectifying junction. The theory of potential distribution and rectification forp‐njunctions is developed with emphasis on germanium. The currents across the junction are carried by the diffusion of holes inn‐type material and electrons inp‐type material, resulting in an admittance for a simple case varying as (1 +iωτp)1/2where τpis the lifetime of a hole in then‐region. Contact potentials acrossp‐njunctions, carrying no current, may develop when hole or electron injection occurs. The principles and theory of ap‐n‐ptransistor are described.
