Abstract
IN 1968 while spending a sabbatical period at the Allen Clark Research Centre I worked on an idea for making artificial semiconductors and did a few preliminary experiments. It seems worth recording these because, due to the interest of colleagues, we are about to continue the work; and a comparable scheme has been proposed by distinguished scientists at IBM1.
