Abstract |
The development of molecular beam epitaxy methods give to possibility of optimization of parameters of infrared photodetectors in base on Hg1-xCdxTe used control of distribution of composition Cd along thickness of epitaxial film. In this wotk the influence of graded-band layers on value of differential resistance of space charge region in MIS-structures in base on MBE HgCdTe (x=0.225) are investigated. For structures in base on n-Hg0.78Cd0.22Te product of differential resistance of space charge region by area amount about 15 Ohm×cm2. Confirm that tunnel recombination via deep levels in near-surface layer of semiconductor severely influence on value of differential resistance of space charge region in MIS-structures in base on n-Hg0.78Cd0.22Te without graded-band layers. It is shown that in MIS-structures creation of near-surface graded-band layers lead to suppress tunnel recombination via deep levels. The probability reason of limited of differential resistance in MIS-structures with graded-band layers is a background photogeneration and diffusion of minority carriers in sub-electrode region. The electro-physical and photo-electrical properties of MIS-structures in base on p-Hg0.78Cd0.22Te with various distributions of composition in near-surface graded-band layers are investigated. It is shown that increase of content Cd at surface from 0.33 to 0.48-0.58 lead to suppress of interband generation-recombination and increase of differential resistance of space charge region. It is shown that small-siganl photo-emf give information about differential resistance of space charge region and dependencies of photo-emf graded-band MIS-structures in base on n-HgCdTe (x=0.225 and x=0.292) and p-HgCdTe (x=0.225) versus temperature and voltage bias are investigated, the mechanisms of limitation of value of differential resistance of space charge region at various conditions are analysed. |
