The static induction transistor was responsible for getting Yamaha into semiconductor manufacturing. Invented by a professor at Tohoku University, Jun’ichi Nishizawa, SITs had the advantage over other transistors in that, when used as audio amplifiers, they didn’t tend to deliver tinny output at higher frequencies. The SITs performed very like vacuum tubes but, as with ...
