  • Method of forming and treating cadmium selenide photoconductive bodies
    Patent number: 4034127
    Abstract: A cadmium selenide base layer is vapor deposited on a substrate and thermally treated to achieve a desired photosensitivity, crystallographic structure, and granularity.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 31, 1975
    Date of Patent: July 5, 1977
    Assignee: RCA Corporation
    Inventors: Charles John Busanovich, Robert Milton Moore
  • Method of fabricating polycrystalline selenium imaging devices
    Patent number: 4021375
    Abstract: A photoconductive target for a vidicon-type camera tube, which includes a layer of polycrystalline selenium, is exposed to a diffusion cycle wherein the temperature is gradually increased from an initial baking temperature of about 50.degree. C. to a final baking temperature of about 150.degree. C. at a rate of about 5.degree. C. per minute. Thereafter the target is baked at a temperature of about 100.degree. C. for about 16 hours in oxygen to substantially reduce the dark current of the target.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 15, 1975
    Date of Patent: May 3, 1977
    Assignee: RCA Corporation
    Inventor: Robert Milton Moore
  • Selenium rectifier having hexagonal polycrystalline selenium layer
    Patent number: 3990095
    Abstract: A rectifying junction suitable for use in photosensitive devices is fabricated between a polycrystalline selenium layer and an electrode of n-type or low work function metal material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 15, 1975
    Date of Patent: November 2, 1976
    Assignee: RCA Corporation
    Inventors: Charles John Busanovich, Robert Milton Moore
  • Photoconductor of cadmium selenide and aluminum oxide
    Patent number: 3947717
    Abstract: A low dark current photoconductive body includes an aluminum oxide overlayer on a cadmium selenide base layer. A transition region is provided at the interface region between the base layer and the overlayer and consists of a graded transition of cadmium and selenium with increasing amounts of aluminum and oxygen. An alternative body is disclosed omitting the overlayer. A blocking contact is provided within a portion of the body including the overlayer and/or the transition region.
