Influence of Contacts on Electric Field in an Au/(CdZn)Te/Au Detector: A Simulation

Publication at Faculty of Mathematics and Physics |

Abstract

We report our simulations on the influence of contacts on charge collection in semi-insulating (CdZn)Te with Au contacts under radiation flux, employing simultaneous solutions of the drift-diffusion and Poisson equations. The type of the space charge and the distribution of the electric field in the Au/(CdZn)Te/Au structure at high fluxes reflect the combined influence of charge generated by band bending at the electrodes, and from photogenerated carriers trapped at deep levels.
