Abstract

The paper describes the photocapacitive response of silicon-collodion-gold contacts in the visible and near-infrared regions. The principal light effects are shown to be associated with the lateral diffusion of light-generated minority carriers under the gold electrode. They are therefore essentially edge effects. Factors governing spectral response and sensitivity are discussed.
