Abstract
Thin-film polycrystalline Mg/Zn3P2 Schottky
photodiodes were fabricated. Their optical and electrical properties
under 1 atm air and 10-5 Torr vacuum conditions were
measured. It was observed that the spectral quantum efficiency improved
under vacuum. These changes were a result of surface effects. Surface
ionic charge at the bulk-surface interface and at the grain boundary
induces a surface depletion region which is affected by vacuum
operation, hence affecting the photodiode properties.
