Technically it is a triode but that word would be misleading here since this device is more like a diode with a MOSFET like insulated gate.

- dfox 2y agoAnd the hollow-state triode is more or less the same thing as JFET, except it needs higher bias voltages.

- kazinator 2y agoThat word would be misleading because it has been taken to refer to vacuum tubes. I would call this a "trioptode". That incorporates the "tri" and "ode", plus a reference to that it is optical: the third terminal modulates light.
- detourdog 2y agoI will start refer to them as trioltodes.
- ggm 2y agoand an octet of data carried through a gate like this is a... Trilobyte?
