Abstract

The thermal sensitivity of silicon bipolar structures is investigated as dependence of the nonequilibrium contact voltage of p–n-junction on temperature. A model equation is derived to describe temperature characteristics of silicon sensors with p–n-junctions. Experimental dependencies of the voltage across the p–n-junction on temperature are compared with similar dependencies obtained in the model suggested.
