Abstract

A photo-transistor in MOS thin-film technology operable with alternating voltages is comprised of a semiconductor body (3) composed of polycrystalline silicon having source (4) and drain (5) zones therein spaced apart by an undoped channel region (13) and having a gate electrode (1, 10) separated from the semiconductor body (3) by a SiO.sub.2 layer (2) produced by thermal oxidation. These phototransistors are easily and reproducably produced and are characterized by low threshold voltages and a good transistor characteristic curve. Thus, these photo-transistors are well suited for use as sensor elements, opto-couplers, time-delay elements and as photo-transistors in VLSI circuits.
