The capsules of planar photosensitive elements on InSb have been fabricated. The
modes of implantation and annealing, the conditions of anodic oxide film creation ( changed
electrolyte ) in a current-state mode, which corresponds to basic technology, were altered.The
volt-ampear characteristics (VAC) of such capsules and its thermal stability have been
investigated. This VAC were compared with VAC of capsules, that were fabricated in base
technology modes.
It was shown, that the drop-voltage of experimental capsules less on 20-25% relatively
that of serial capsules. But the experimental capsules thermal stability more that of the serial
capsules (the temperature after that the drop was obtained, equaled 180°C for experimental
capsules and 145°C - for serial capsules). The effect of electric training that increase the drop
voltage on 1V, was observed for all capsules that were investigated.
The influence of additional (second) stage of anodic oxidation with lower currents to
anodic oxide film properties have been studied. It was shown, that such stage raised drop-
voltage of film and its uniformity within the samples. The necessity of such film application
will determined after capsules fabrication on the base of this anodic oxide film and their VAC
investigations.
