Abstract
A semiconductor device comprises two layers of semiconductor material each of different conductivity type, with a region of semiconductor material sandwiched between the layers. The material of which the region is formed is of the same composition as the first layer at the edge of the region adjacent to the first layer, and varies in composition linearly on the running average in the direction between the layers such that the region forms a heterojunction with the second layer.
