1960 R. L. Anderson in IBM Jrnl. Res. & Devel. IV. 287 Junctions between two dissimilar semiconductors will be referred to as heterojunctions and those in the same semiconductor with different doping as homojunctions.
1966 New Scientist 11 Aug. 316/3 On bringing two conductivity types of the same material..into contact, in a homojunction, considerable border disturbances take place between the hordes of electrons and holes confronting each other.
1971 Sci. Amer. July 39/2 The structure therefore has a p-n junction in gallium arsenide (a homojunction).
