Popis: HgCdTe/Si heterostructures (HSs) were obtained by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on Si (p- or n-type) flat and patterned (pyramid-like and plate-like) substrate from p- or n-type HgCdTe target. The I–V characteristics of p–n and isotype HSs were investigated by the differential approach. This approach is based on monitoring of differential slope α of the I–V characteristics in log–log plot (α=d lgI/d lgV). Influence of the substrate kind (flat, pyramid-like or plate-like), type of conductivity, type of HS (p–n or isotype) and substrate resistivity were studied. In all cases, the main feature of the I–V characteristics behaviour was α=3/2. It means that the bimolecular recombination is the main recombination mechanism in all HSs types.
