P-N JUNCTIONS AS ARTIFICIAL DIFFUSION BARRIERS FOR NATIVE DEFECTS

Abstract
A diffusion anomaly of a native acceptor defect in ZnSexTe1−x p‐n junctions is described. The diffusivities of this defect in n‐ and p‐type crystals at 575°C have been determined. The anomaly can be utilized in a triple‐diffusion technique of preparing p‐n junction diodes with improved electrical properties.
