Abstract
In this paper, we report the experimental data of photoresponse namely; voltage responsivity and speed of response at $\lambda$ = 904 nm of silicon photodiode formed by pulsed laser-induced diffusion technique. Experimental results demonstrated that the photodiode parameters strongly depend on the laser energy and substrate temperature. Maximum Responsivity obtained for p-n junctions photodetectors prepared by laser fluence of 9.17 J/cm2 for Al-doped Si and 10.03 J/cm2 for Sb-doped Si at substrate temperature (Ts) of 598 K. The pulse response waveform of photodetectors illustrated that the rise time is not dominated by RC. Non-linearity deviation coefficient was improved by factors 1.6 for and 2.7 for for Al-doped Si and Sb-doped Si photodetectors respectively when Ts is raised from 300 K to 598 K.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
