Description
Die Erfindung· bezieht sich auf die Herstellung einer Sperrschicht auf der Halbleiterschicht von Trockengleichrichtern, insbesondere von Selentrockengleichrichtern, welche mit guten Sperreigenschaften in der Sperrichtung einen guten Stromdurchgang in der Durchgangsrichtung des Stromes verbindet. Die gebräuchlichsten Gleichrichter arbeiten mit einer sich auf der Halblei terschicht selbständig bildenden sog. natürlichen Sperrschicht. Da die Entstehung dieser Sperrschicht nicht ohne weiteres zu beherrschen ist, fallen bei der Massenherstellung die Gleichrichterejemente ungleichmäßig aus, so daß man bei strenger Prüfung stets mit einem verhältnismäßig großen Ausschuß rechnen muß.The invention relates to the manufacture of a barrier layer on the semiconductor layer of dry rectifiers, especially selenium dry rectifiers, which have good blocking properties in the Reverse direction connects a good current passage in the passage direction of the current. The most common rectifiers work with a layer on the semiconductor independently forming so-called natural barrier layer. Because the emergence of this barrier layer cannot be easily mastered, the rectifier elements in mass production turn out to be uneven, see above that with a strict examination one always reckons with a relatively large reject got to.
Es sind bereits Trockengleichrichter bekannt, bei denen jene Ungleichmäßigkeit durch die Aufbringung einer künstlichen Sperrschicht vermieden werden soll. Diese künstlichen Sperrschichten bestehen aus· iso-There are already known dry rectifiers in which that unevenness should be avoided by applying an artificial barrier. These artificial barriers consist of iso-
lierenden Stoffen, deren Bestandteile weder in dem Halbleitermaterial noch in dem Material der Trägerelektrode enthalten sind. Es sind insbesondere dünne Schichten aus Kunstharz, Lack oder amorphem Schwefel bekannt. Diese Schichten zeigen einen völlig homogenen Aufbau und haben wegen ihrer durchgehend isolierenden Eigenschaft zwar ein gutes Sperrvermögen, bieten jedoch dem elekirischen Strom in der Durchgangsrichtung einen zu großen Widerstand. Der Gleichrichtungsfaktor ist daher verhältnismäßig schlecht. Das gleiche gilt für die bekannten künstlichen Sperrschichten, die, beispielsweise aus Schellack oder Schwefel bestehend, durch Aufbringen in Lösung und Verdunstung des Lösungsmittels erzeugt werden. NTun spielt für die Wirksamkeit der sog. natürlichen Sperrschichten offenbar die Oberflächenbeschaffenheit des Halbleiters eine Rolle, und zwar in dem Sinn, daß die Bildung der Sperrschicht günstige Bedingungen vorfindet, wenn die Oberfläche des Halbleiters nicht zu glatt ist. Infolgedessen kann auf glatten Halbleiteroberflächen auch eine homogene künstliche Sperrschicht nicht zu guten Resultaten führen. Man würde daher genötigt sein, durch besondere Verfahrensgänge die Halbleiteroberfläche aufzurauhen, um günstigere Verhältnisse für die Bildung einer wirksamen künstlichen homogenen Sperrschicht zu erzielen.lating substances, the components of which are contained neither in the semiconductor material nor in the material of the carrier electrode. In particular, thin layers of synthetic resin, lacquer or amorphous sulfur are known. These layers have a completely homogeneous structure and, because of their continuously insulating property, have a good blocking capacity, but offer too great a resistance to the electrical current in the direction of passage. The rectification factor is therefore relatively bad. The same applies to the known artificial barrier layers, which, for example, consist of shellac or sulfur, are produced by application in solution and evaporation of the solvent. N T un plays for the effectiveness of the so-called. Natural barriers obviously the surface condition of the semiconductor a role, in the sense that the formation of the barrier layer finds favorable conditions when the surface of the semiconductor is not too smooth. As a result, even a homogeneous artificial barrier layer cannot lead to good results on smooth semiconductor surfaces. It would therefore be necessary to roughen the semiconductor surface by means of special processes in order to achieve more favorable conditions for the formation of an effective artificial homogeneous barrier layer.
Die Erfindung beschreitet einen anderen Weg, indem sie davon ausgeht, die Sperrschicht in inhomogener Zusammensetzung auf . den Halbleiter, z. B. Selen, aufzubringen und besteht darin, daß bei dem Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Sperrschicht auf der Halbleiterschicht von Trockengleichrichtern aus einer zur Verdampfung gebrachten Flüssigkeit, die den Sperrschichtstoff gelöst enthält, die Sperrschicht auf der Halbleiterschicht, ζ. Β. Selenschicht, nach deren Überführung in die wirksame Modifikation durch mechanische Aufbringung einer denselben Halbleiterstoff, ζ. B. Selen, in Suspension und zugleich ein isolierendes Bindemittel in Lösung enthaltende Flüssigkeit und durch deren darauf folgende Verdunstung erzeugt wird, so daß sie inhomogene Zusammensetzung zeigt. Die zurückbleibende Sperrschicht besteht beispielsweise aus zahlreichen einzelnen Selenteilchen, welche durch das Bindemittel räumlich voneinander getrennt zusammengehalten werden. Das Bindemittel kann z. B. durch Siliciumdioxyd oder einen geeigneten Lack oder aber durch kristallinen Schwefel gebildet werden. Als besonders vorteilhaft hat sich ein Verfahren unter Anwendung von Schwefelkohlenstoff als Verdunstungsflüssigkeit erwiesen, welcher feinzerteiltes Selen in Suspension und Schwefel in Lösung enthält. Der gelöste Schwefel schlägt sich während des Verdunstens des Lösungsmittels in kristalliner Form nieder und bildet zusammen mit den eingelagerten Selenteilchen eine Sperrschicht inhomogener Zusammensetzung. Für die Wirksamkeit einer solchen Sperrschicht ist es unwesentlich, auf welche Weise die darunterliegende Halbleiterschicht erzeugt ist. Sie kann z. B. durch Niederschlagen aus dem Dampfzustand hergestellt oder durch Aufschmelzen und eine darauffolgende Wärme- und gegebenenfalls eine Druckbehandlung erzeugt sein.The invention takes a different approach by assuming the barrier layer in an inhomogeneous composition. the semiconductor, e.g. B. Selenium to apply and is that in the method of forming a barrier layer on the semiconductor layer of dry rectifiers from a liquid brought to vaporization that contains the barrier layer material in solution, the barrier layer on the semiconductor layer, ζ. Β. Selenium layer, after its transfer in the effective modification by mechanical application of the same semiconductor material, ζ. B. selenium, in suspension and at the same time an insulating binder in solution containing liquid and is generated by its subsequent evaporation, so that it shows inhomogeneous composition. The remaining barrier layer exists for example from numerous individual selenium particles, which are spatially determined by the binding agent be held together separately from each other. The binder can e.g. B. by silicon dioxide or a suitable varnish or else be formed by crystalline sulfur. Has been particularly beneficial a process using carbon disulfide as an evaporative liquid proven, which contains finely divided selenium in suspension and sulfur in solution. The dissolved sulfur turns into crystalline material as the solvent evaporates Form and together with the embedded selenium particles forms a barrier layer of inhomogeneous composition. For the effectiveness of such a barrier it is immaterial in which way the underlying semiconductor layer is produced. You can z. B. by knocking down produced in the steam state or by melting and a subsequent heat and, if necessary, a pressure treatment can be generated.
