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. - 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)

Agree. Removed it.--Light current 02:25, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

History section - free addition

I noticed this page did not have a history section and thought the history copied from transistor would fit better here. We're trying to get rid of it anyway! So if you think it can stay here, you can have it free!.--Light current 01:21, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Shouldn't there be some citations here? This history section cites no sources and could be more specific. Any thoughts? Digivation 02:09, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
