Modeling of Photoconductivity of Porous Silicon

[摘要] The paper investigates a model of the photoconductivity of macroporous silicon in the conditions of homogeneous generation of photocarriers. By the finite element method, the stationary photoconductivity and the time evolution of photoconductivity after instantaneous shutdown of light are calculated. Dependences of the stationary photoconductivity and relaxation time of photoconductivity on the velocity of recombination of nonequilibrium carriers at the surfaces of pores, radius of pores, and average distance between them are analyzed.
