Abstract

It is shown that the increase in the current of an asymmetric p-n-junction, caused by perturbation of potential barrier height and increasing recombination current in a strong microwave field, is suppressed by light generated photo carriers, leading to the displacement of current-voltage characteristics of p-n-junction into the direction of smaller current values.

Keywords
