Abstract EN

Four samples of silicon germanium thin films deposited on glass substrates of various percentages of germanium were fabricated.

It was found that the increase in germanium percentage from 0 to 25% leads to a reduction of optical energy gap from 1.55 eV to 1.35 eV.

The silicon germanium thin films then deposited on silicon wafers and the photo-electrical properties of the junctions were studied.

The behavior of 25% germanium sample gave, somewhat, better detection parameters (detectivity of 2000 W'1) with low values of leakage current.

While the 10% germanium sample gave low values of quantum efficiency because of the high value of leakage current.
