Fabrication and characterization of n- InSb Heterojunction for optoelectronic device

Abstract The operating characteristics of optoelectronic devices depend critically on the properties physical of the constituent materials, interesting compound has been focused on this research formed from group III and V of the periodic table. Thin film n-InSb heterjuntion were successfully fabricated on p-Si substrates by thermal evaporation technique at different annealing temperature (as prepared, 400,500,600) °C. The effect of annealing temperature on the structural, surface morphology, optical and optoelectronic properties of InSb films were investigated and studied. The crystal structure of the film was characterized by X-ray diffraction and techniques. AFM techniques inspect the surface morphology of InSb films, the study presented the values of surface roughness, average diameter, and grain size alteration from ( 65.73nm-97.07nm) with increasing annealing temperature. The optical properties show high band gab with (600°C), The optoelectronic properties of the InSb heterojunction has been studied such I-V characteristics, spectral responsivity and carrier lifetime.
