The fundamental factors which determine the characteristics of a (n
+-p-n
+)-n
+ device are the applied voltage and illuminated light (
L). Besides these factors, the characteristics of the device are influenced by external factors such as capacitance, resistance and auxiliary voltage. When a capacitance
C is added between the main and auxiliary electrodes, , decrease of the frequency and the threshold voltage of oscillation, and increase of the output pulse current occur. The frequency ƒ is expressed as ƒ=
a•
C-k•
Ln and the pulse width τ as τ=
b•
C+τ
0. Connection of a resistance
R increases the frequency. When an
R-
C parallel circuit is added, the minimum frequency ƒ
min is determined by the value of
C, and the frequency increases up to 50_??_60 times of ƒ
min with decrease of
R. Addition of an auxiliary voltage
V1 decreases the threshold voltage of oscillation and increases the frequency.
