I'm going to stick this link in the notes here; I think its cool; way cool. This is an example of a hobbyist using iron pyrite as a semiconductor for an oscillating circuit (http://home.earthlink.net/~lenyr/iposc.htm). - David M
Thyristor and SCR is the same thing. SCRs and triacs have 3 terminals (but 4 layers instead of 3 for a transistor) -- Egil 14:48 Feb 5, 2003 (UTC)
This phrasing seems a bit patronizing for encyclopedia prose! Perhaps we can come up with something better? "in a sense that requires some knowledge of semiconductor physics to understand, a hole is the absence of an electron." --Christofurio 14:19, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)
