A new type of injection regime is considered – non-recombination one, which can be realized in the forward direction of the current in structures of the p-n-n+ type under conditions of opposite directions of ambipolar diffusion and drift of non-equilibrium carriers. This is possible only if the accumulation at the n-n+ junction is stronger than the injection through the p-n junction, i.e., the concentration of carriers at the boundary of the n-base with the n-n+ junction is higher than their concentration at the boundary of the n-base with the p-n junction. In this mode, the dependences of the current on the voltage of the type J ~ V, and then J ~ V2 appear. Experimentally, such a behavior of the current-voltage characteristic is observed for the Al–Al2O3–CdTe structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
