Abstract

The kinetics of the electronic processes in metal-insulator-semiconductor structures in which the insulator layer has low conductivity is considered. When a dc bias voltage is applied to such a structure, a nonequilibrium depletion region appears in the semiconductor layer. The conditions necessary for the formation of a stable depletion region and the appearance of photoelectric signals in this region are analyzed. The duration of transients and the parameters of the structure layers are estimated.
