S-type negative differential conduction in InSb at room temperature

  • 1. AN Ukrainskoj SSR, Kiev. Inst. Poluprovodnikov

Description

The volt-ampere characteristics VAC of p-InSb crystals were studied at room temperature. p-InSb samples possessed an optimum aloying degree with the hole concentration p0=1017 cm-3. It is shown that in strong electrical fields corresponding to shock ionization, the VAC have sections with S-negative differential conductivity (S-NDC). The electric field value corresponding to NDC initiation is dependent essentially on the distance between ohmic contacts, surface generating ability and also on crystal cross-section dimensions
