Direct analytical method for estimating the ideality factor of ZnTe/CdTe isotype p-p heterojunction diodes is reported. The calculations were performed at two temperatures 300 K and 200 K. Simulations, considering the series and shunt parasitics, showed ideality factor values of 6.9 and 22.4 at 300 K and 200 K respectively. These values were compared with those extracted from the dark current-voltage curves which are 6.5 and 28.2 at the same temperatures. The large ideality factor in this system (particularly at low temperature) was attributed to the presence of high density of interface states (typically ~ 1013 cm-2).

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
