Abstract

The pSi-n(Si2)1−x (ZnS) x (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.92) structure, on which thermovoltaic effect is observed, has been obtained by means of liquid-phase epitaxy from tin solution-melt on plates of p-type technical silicon. This effect is explained by grain boundary defects and influence of ZnS impurities in a thin layer adjacent to the p-n-junction.
