Characteristics of diode temperature sensors which exhibit Mott conduction in low temperature region

Heavily doped silicon diodes of n⁺⁺-p⁺ type which exhibit the Mott temperature dependence of the forward current in a certain range of bias voltages and low temperatures have studied from the point of their use as temperature sensors. In the region of hopping conduction, the operating signal of d...

Description
Summary:Heavily doped silicon diodes of n⁺⁺-p⁺ type which exhibit the Mott temperature dependence of the forward current in a certain range of bias voltages and low temperatures have studied from the point of their use as temperature sensors. In the region of hopping conduction, the operating signal of diodes U (T) (U is a voltage drop across the diode during the passage of a constant current, T is the temperature) reproduces the Mott law (with opposite sign in the exponent), and the temperature sensitivity of such sensors after passing through a minimum (as the temperature is lowered) increases again up to the values typical of room temperature
