Popis: Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS) measurements have been used to characterize n+ − pHg1−xCdxTe junction photodiode performance. Deep level results obtained on a x = 0.320 liquid phase epitaxial grown photodiode and a x = 0.219 bulk quench anneal-grown photodiode have identified deep Shockley-Read recombination centers. Detailed characterization of trap energy, trap density, and capture cross sections for these traps located within the diode depletion region have been used to predict a space charge generation-recombination current and dynamic resistance-area product at zero bias voltage. This paper presents for the first time a direct correlation of DLTS parameters with photodiode device performance.
