Hq. Lu et al., STUDY OF ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF HG CDTE PN JUNCTION FORMED BY LOW-ENERGY ION-BEAM MILLING, JOURNAL OF INFRARED AND MILLIMETER WAVES, 17(1), 1998, pp. 21-24
PN junctions were formed on HgCdTe bulk material with cutoff wavelengt
h of 3 similar to 5 mu m and 8 similar to 10 mu m,respectively. Their
I-V and C-V characteristics were studied and it was found that these j
unctions are of the type of diffusion junctions, which is coincident w
ith the current hypothesis that the main mechanism of surface conversi
on on p type HgCdTe by ion beam milling is due to mercury diffusion.
