ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor neuron comprises a tunnel diode having a region of recrystallized semiconductor material formed in situ in a columnar structure body of semiconductor material by thermal gradient zone melting. Individual electrical leads are affixed to the body and to both opposing faces of the recrystallized region. A voltage pulse applied between one pair of electrical leads on one surface across the P-N junction will propagate at a predetermined rate through the semiconductor body. After a predetermined delay, the applied pulse will appear across the P-N junction thereby mimicking the conducting nerve pulses by a biological nerve cell and its nerve fiber.
