The optimal modes for doping CdTe with Li impurity have been established. Photodetectors based on Au-CdTe:Li surface barrier diodes have been manufactured. The optical parameters and photoelectric characteristics of heterostructures have been studied, the region of their photosensitivity of 1.4÷5.0 eV and the mechanisms of its formation during interband transitions and through local LiCd centers have been determined. Au-CdTe:Li structures with high photosensitivity were obtained due to the high potential barrier 0 formed on the modified CdTe surface. The high quantum efficiency η = 12% of CdTe:Li determines the production of photodetectors with typical values of open circuit voltage Voc and short circuit current Isc, which are 0.7 V and 10 mA/cm2 under AM2 solar illumination. Their efficiency can be 10%. Temperature coefficient of change in efficiency CdTe-based solar cells are almost four times smaller than silicon ones. A high quantum efficiency of η = 12% radiation in the edge region was obtained. The proposed approach to modifying the CdTe surface and doping with Li allows for a significant increase in the photosensitivity of structures and opens up new possibilities for developing highly sensitive photodetectors for different spectral ranges. |
