This paper focuses on researching the change in the volt-farad characteristic of the Al/SiO2/n-Si structure irradiated by helium ions with the energy of 5 MeV in different frequencies of 1 kHz; 10 kHz; 100 kHz and 1 MHz. The voltage dependence of the capacitance and the frequency dependence of the dissolution angle are measured by LCR Agilent E4980A and Agilent 4285A meter. The complex electrical module’s hodograph of irradiated structure shows that there is a formation of quasi-continuous radiation-disturbed layer at fluence 1012 cm-2 with U < -7 V and at 1013 cm-2 with U < -20 V, which enhances the speed of charged particles, thereby increasing the reverse current in the irradiated structure.

AbstractThe bias voltage dependent spectral response (with and without steady state bias light) and the current voltage dependence has been simulated and compared to experimentally obtained values. Results show that in the heterostructures the bias voltage influences differently the field and the diffusion part of the photocurrent. The interchange between primary and secondary photocurrent (i. e. between generator and load device operation) is explained by the interaction of the field and the diffusion components of the photocurrent. A field reversal that depends on the light bias conditions (wavelength and intensity) explains the photocurrent reversal. The field reversal leads to the collapse of the diode regime (primary photocurrent) launches surface recombination at the p-i and i-n interfaces which is responsible for a double-injection regime (secondary photocurrent). Considerations about conduction band offsets, electrical field profiles and inversion layers will be taken into account to explain the optical and voltage bias dependence of the spectral response.

The effect of oxygen adsorption on the conductivity of PbTe films is studied. Pn junctions based on PbTe films are photosensitive in the IR spectral region with a maximum photosensitivity of 𝜆𝑚𝑎𝑥 microns. The tunneling mechanism of current flow through the pn junction is shown.
