JUNCTION CURRENT DISTRIBUTIONS AND AC IMPEDANCES OF THIN RESISTIVE FILMS ON SEMICONDUCTOR JUNCTIONS

Certain aspects of the blocking layer behavior in semiconductor hetero junction lasers can be modeled as a thin resistive film overlaying a s emiconductor forward biased junction. The de behavior of such a model has been studied previously by W. B. Joyce and S. H. Wemple [J. Appl. Phys. 41, 3818 (1970)]. This paper studies the ac aspects of that mode l, and also makes some of the de results of Joyce and Wemple more imme diately accessible. (C) 1995 American Institute of Physics.
