Double Injection in Deep-Lying Impurity Semiconductors

Abstract

The analysis of double injection for a semi-insulator model with a single recombination center extends previous treatments by varying the ratio of occupied and unoccupied centers. The voltage-current characteristic of the model consists of an Ohm's-law region followed by a square-law region that terminates into a vertically rising current (threshold of double injection). Expressions for the Ohm's-law-square-law intersection voltage and the threshold (breakdown) voltages represent experimental results better than expressions derived from earlier models. Together with experimental voltages from Au-doped Ge devices at low temperature, these expressions give the electron- and hole-capture-cross section of the recombination center.

Dark Conductivity in Semi-Insulating Crystals of CdTe:Sn

“…The latter formula was obtained assuming that high field modifies effective trap cross-section ~n n S F a -, yet carrier mobility remains independent on both Т and F (considering m n independent on the applied field, the quantity U x is expected to be proportional to t 2 [18], which matches our experimental evidence (Fig. 2)).…”

“…I-V characteristics under forward bias were investigated in the temperature range of 20 to 250 C. Arrhenius plot of the temperature dependence of the forward current allows us to calculate [9]. This is because the forward current under low forward bias is directly proportional to the density of thermally excited holes [10]. In the AlGaN layer with the AlN content of 0.08 we measured the acceptor activation energy of 195 AE 10 meV.…”
