Nice, thank you

On a side note, the other day I heard a podcast with Chuck Peddle, commonly regarded as the farther of the computers

Ha! I used the 6502 early in my business. Very easy to program.

Brings back fond memories. Thanks.

  • The first one appears to be a FET; look at the drawings and description in the second one; clearly junction EBC. The third patent expands on the technology.

Nonsense. There are no PN junctions there--it's all metal/semiconductor/metal.

  • You don't need to do diffusion to have inherent doping. Ever heard of Ovshinsky? He opened the scientific field of amorphous and disordered materials.

The ovonics guy? A genius at self-promotion, for sure. Technically, not so much.

(Also completely unrelated to the Lilienfeld discussion.)

No I am not touchy at all. The semiconductor device group at UT-Austin ECE department was pretty big(26 profs) but al they did was process engineering. But at the process engineering stage, the device has already been designed,

It was a joke. "Probing chip dies"... "touchy". You don't get it?

OK. Grow some highly organized precisely placed sand!

You might get some mileage out of _Bipolar Semiconductor Devices_ by Roulston. (You need to ask an electronics guru to be certain.) Roulston wrote some semiconductor simulation software [1], which may prove helpful to your quest.

Note.
