专利汇可以提供Piezoelectric acoustic surface wave device utilizing an amorphous semiconductive sensing material专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且An integrated acoustic surface wave device is provided by this disclosure wherein a piezoelectric field associated with an acoustic surface wave causes a material adjacent to the surface to transform from one physical state to another physical state. The changes in state due to the presence of the piezoelectric wave are utilized to detect, amplify and store information. The presence of the piezoelectric wave controls external physical quantities, e.g., voltage and current, for information processing and storage. In particular, an amorphous semiconducting material is deposited on the surface of a piezoelectric surface wave acoustic delay line at a location where the presence of the traversing piezoelectric wave is to be detected. Contact electrodes are provided on the amorphous material and are connected to an external electrical circuit wherein there is a voltage source and a load means. The voltage source provides an electric field in the amorphous material of a value below that necessary to achieve the threshold value for switching the material from a high-voltage and low-current state to a highcurrent and low-voltage state. In this manner, the piezoelectric field of the acoustic surface wave which transiently appears at the amorphous material when added to the externally applied electric field causes it to switch states and thereby gives rise to a pulse indication in the external electrical circuit. Accordingly, an integrated apparatus in accordance with this disclosure includes a piezoelectric surface wave delay line and an amorphous semiconductor film. A transducer on the surface of the piezoelectric crystal generates piezoelectric surface waves therein, and a local receiving transducer which serves as the electrodes for the amorphous semiconductor film intercepts the piezoelectric surface wave. The electric field associated with the surface wave supplements a bias electric field at the amorphous semiconductor film and causes the states thereof to switch and provides an indication of the presence of the piezoelectric wave in the external electric circuit connected to the amorphous film.,下面是Piezoelectric acoustic surface wave device utilizing an amorphous semiconductive sensing material专利的具体信息内容。
