Popis: Experimental current–versus–bias‐voltage data obtained on Hg‐diffused, p‐n homojunction, infrared photodiodes are critically examined against a theoretical model. A satisfactory agreement between measured and predicted data requires that the thermal impedance of the device be included into the model. Thermal calculations confirm the magnitude of the thermal impedance suggested by the model. Values of several thousand K/W are possible for front‐side‐illuminated detectors.
