   The one-dimensional model of IR-photoconductor (PC) is developed for computer simulation. PC, made from Hg1-хCdхTe (CMT), consist of left, contact section, center active (IR irradiated) section and right contact section. One can to change the length of every section, it composition, density of majority carriers in it and rate of minority carriers recombination at both contacts. The model allows to find the distribution of minority carriers on length of PC and the dependence of voltage responsivity from electric field, applied to PC.
