Abstract
Extremely high accuracy measurements of the internal quantum efficiency of shallow-junction silicon photodetectors were fit with various theoretical models. The internal quantum efficiency was found to be rather model independent indicating its possible use as a radiometric standard. The results of this investigation indicate that the quantum yield of silicon is unity to within a few tenths of one percent in the visible.Keywords
