Patent
Electromagnetic radiation detectors
TL;DR: In this paper, an improved electromagnetic radiation sensitive semiconductor device together with a method of making same is disclosed in which surface regions directly beneath the active portion of the electrical contacts are provided with a layer of semiconductor material having a higher bandgap than the radiation sensitive material which repels minority carriers but allows the passage of majority carriers.
Patent
Electromagnetic radiation detector
TL;DR: In this paper, the electromagnetic radiation sensitive detector comprises a substrate (10), a first layer (12) on the substrate of radiation sensitive semiconductor material of a given conductivity type and having a first energy bandgap, at least one ohmic contact (16) providing electrical communication with the first layer, and a second layer (14) having an energy band gap greater than that of the first, the second layer being located on the first-layer beneath the or each contact to which minority carriers are attracted from the firstlayer to enhance the responsivity of the detector.
