Lead telluride-germanium heterojunction properties

Abstract
PbTe–Ge p‐n heterojunctions were formed by evaporating PbTe layers on Ge substrates kept at constant temperature. The electrical characteristics are discussed, indicating that the static potential drop is essentially supported by the Ge side in all diodes. This causes a peaking of the spectral photoresponse near the Ge energy gap.
