Photovoltatic Effect in Au–nSi–Au Structures with Schottky Barriers and Features of Spectral Characteristics

Resumo

The results of a study of a photovoltaic silicon structure with two Schottky barriers are presented. It is revealed that Au–nSi–Au structures in a temperature range of room temperature to 40°C at low operating voltages of 0.1–0.2 V are characterized by a weak temperature dependence of the photocurrent. As a result, there is a gradual increase in the light current, which ensures high photosensitivity values under low light.
