Electrical and Optical Characteristics of $n-GaSb//n-GaIn_{0.24}AsSb//p-GaAl_{0.34}AsSb$ Heterostructure Photodiode

In the present paper, electrical and optical properties of $n-GaSb//n-GaIn_{0.24}AsSb//p-GaAl_{0.34}AsSb$ double heterostructure (DH) with a diameter of 0.3 mm are reported. The current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the structure were investigated at several temperatures in both, dark and under the illumination conditions. The effect of illumination was studied at different intensity values. Short circuit current and open circuit voltage as a function of intensity of incident light in photovoltaic mode are investigated.
