Abstract:The dark current and noise spectra were investigated in Hg 1-x Cd x Te (x≅0.22) photodiodes at zero and low reverse bias voltages. The photodiodes were prepared by boron implantation into LPE films. The 1/f noise is proved to be correlated with tunneling current via the deep defect states in the gap at low reverse biases U≤0.1 V. In the photodiodes, where the tunneling current is found to be dominating, the 1/f noise is observed up to frequencies 10 4 Hz. The decrease of tunneling current results in the decrea… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
