Abstract
Schottky Barrier photodiodes have been fabricated on p-Hg1-x Cdx Te (0.20≤ × ≤ 0.38) with aluminum, chromium, lead and manganese as barrier metals. Various electrical characterizations have been carried out to determine barrier heights and the results are found to be in excellent agreement with theory. These photodiodes have also been used to determine the minority carrier lifetime and diffusion length in p-Hg1-x Cdx Te.
