ABSTRACT:
A vacuum electron device including a semiconductor device in a hermetically sealed container enclosing a vacuum. The device includes an electron emissive source for emitting electrons into the vacuum, and a collector for collecting electrons emitted from the electron emissive source and tranported through the vacuum. The device is subjected to a high internal electric field such that electrons in the emissive source are excited to energies greater than the electron affinity of the semiconductor body.
