SOME ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES OF Te FILMS AND Al-Al2O3-Te TUNNEL JUNCTIONS,

Abstract

Tellurium evaporated onto pyrex substrates at room temperature is a polycrystalline p-type semiconductor with an energy gap equal to that for a single crystal Te. Its conduction properties are dominated by impurity band conduction with a mobility of 20 sq. cm/volt sec at room temperature and to carrier density of 10 ti the 18th power holes/cc. Current-voltage characteristics of Al-Al2O3-Te tunnel junctions cannot be interpreted in terms of simple tunneling models, but do indicate some band structure effects which are largely masked by the presence of excess currents.
