Electrical properties of MIS-photodetectors in base of MBE graded-band HgCdTe

The electro-physical and photo-electrical properties of the HgCdTe/SiO2/Si3N4 and HgCdTe/anodic-oxide film MIS structures is experimentally studied. The heteroepitaxial graded-band films Hg0.78Cd0.22Te were produced on the GaAs substrates by molecular-beam epitaxy. It was established of features of electrical properties were related with conduction type of the semiconductor and to the presence of near-surface graded-band layers. The test measurements of the electro-physical and photoelectric performances of MIS-structures in base of graded-band HgCdTe are held and the following parameters are found: resistances of volume, voltage of flat bands, densities of mobile and fixed charges, spectrums of surface states. It is shown that low-temperature double insulator SiO2/Si3N4 is perspective for passivation of surface of focal plane arrays in base of HgCdTe-photodiodes.
