Analysis of the R0A product in n+-p Hg1−xCdxTe photodiodes

A. Rogalski
- 01 May 1988 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of different junction current components (diffusion current for radiative and Auger 7 recombination mechanisms, tunneling and depletion layer currents) on the R 0 A product of n + - p -Hg 1− x Cd x Te photodiodes is considered.

Tunnel contribution to Hg1−xCdxTe and Pb1−xSnxTe p−n junction diode characteristics

W.W. Anderson
- 01 Nov 1980 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the tunnel contribution to p − n junction diode electrical characteristics and showed that the soft reverse breakdown characteristic of p - n junctions in both Hg 1− x Cd x Te (HCT) and Pb 1 − x Sn x Te(LTT) is satisfactorily accounted for by the tunnel mechanism.

Carrier Generation and Recombination in P-N Junctions and P-N Junction Characteristics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the current due to generation and recombination of carriers from generation-recombination centers in the space charge region of a p-n junction accounts for the observed characteristics.
