Abstract :
Double-injection p-i-n diodes containing appropriate trapping centers exhibit extremely light sensitive space charge limited current characteristics. Small variations in the i-region space charge induced by low light levels results in lalge changes in the forward current. The detectivity D* of typical Zn-doped devices is approximately 1013.
