Before revision: Principle of operation In a basic Solaristor embodiment, the self-powered transistor effect is achieved by the integration of a light absorber layer (a material that absorbs a photon ) in series with one functional semiconductor transport layer, which internal conductivity or contact resistance can be modified externally.
After revision: Principle of operation In a basic Solaristor embodiment, the self-powered transistor effect is achieved by the integration of a light absorber layer (a material that absorbs photon energy ) in series with a functional semiconductor transport layer, which internal conductivity or contact resistance can be modified externally.
