Numerical simulation of parameters of ZnCdHgTe films and ZnCdHgTe-based heterostructures

Two simple calculation techniques are proposed for numerical modeling and estimation of the main parameters determining the operational reliability of active elements based on A/sup 2/B/sup 6/ materials. In particular, room-temperature processes of charge carrier transport accounting for inhomogeneities of epitaxial film surfaces and the work function of the heterostructures based on the narrow-gap solid solution ZnCdHgTe are reported. The calculation algorithm is also presented.
