Abstract
A submatrix of semiconductor material contains plural electron conduction annels in either or both series and parallel arrangements. Electrons in the channels are confined by the submatrix and a surrounding main matrix provides photon confinement within the submatrix for nonequilibrium phonons which are mutually interchanged between channels. The confinement enhances the efficiency of energy and momentum transfer by means of nonequilibrium phonons. Embodiments of the invention as a transformer, bistable switch, controlled switch and amplifier are disclosed.
