SINGLE CRYSTAL CADMIUM SULFIDE AND CADMIUM SELENIDE INSULATED-GATE FIELD-EFFECT TRIODES.

Abstract

Insulated-gate field-effect triodes were fabricated on single crystal cadmium sulfide and cadmium selenide. Both bulk crystals and platelets were used for single crystal samples. Chromium and aluminum were found to make low impedance contacts to cadmium sulfide and cadmium selenide. The calculated effective drift mobilities of the fabricated single crystal IGFET's were three to four times greater than the highest reported value of polycrystalline cadmium sulfide and cadmium selenide IGFET's. The characteristics of the fabricated devices were unstable with respect to time and temperature. This instability was partially attributed to the instability of the evaporated silicon monoxide layer. Author)
