摘要
The paper theoretically analyzes properties of graded-band-gap (GBG) p-n structures in which band gap linearly enlarges with increasing the distance from the junction metallurgical edge. It is shown that by means of band-gap grading one can significantly reduce the diffusion reverse current caused by carrier thermal generation in the structure base regions and Ohmic contacts. The numerical estimations have been made for the case of p-n junction on the basis of CdHgTe solid solution.
