Diffused junction photovoltaic infrared detectors using Pb1− x Ge x Te with 0.05⩽ x ⩽0.11

Photovoltaic infrared detectors were fabricated in p-type Pb1−xGexTe with 0.05?x?0.11 using antimony impurity diffusion to form n-p junctions. Measurements were performed between 77 and 195 K and the long-wavelength response cutoffs varied from 3.5 to 4.5 μm. The temperature coefficient of the band...

Zusammenfassung:Photovoltaic infrared detectors were fabricated in p-type Pb1−xGexTe with 0.05?x?0.11 using antimony impurity diffusion to form n-p junctions. Measurements were performed between 77 and 195 K and the long-wavelength response cutoffs varied from 3.5 to 4.5 μm. The temperature coefficient of the band gap changed from positive below the ferroelectric Curie temperature to negative above this temperature.
