Tunneling current via dislocations in InAs and InSb infrared photodiodes

Carrier transport mechanisms are investigated in InAs and InSb infrared
 photodiodes. The photodiodes were prepared by thermal diffusion of Cd and ion
 implantation of Be into InAs and InSb single-crystal substrates of n-type conductivity,
 respectively. The direct current wa...

Description
Summary:Carrier transport mechanisms are investigated in InAs and InSb infrared
 photodiodes. The photodiodes were prepared by thermal diffusion of Cd and ion
 implantation of Be into InAs and InSb single-crystal substrates of n-type conductivity,
 respectively. The direct current was measured as a function of bias voltage and
 temperature. The excess tunneling current is observed in the investigated photodiodes at
 small forward bias voltages. Experimental proofs are obtained that dislocations are
 responsible for this current. A model for the tunneling current via dislocations is briefly
 discussed.
