TY - JOUR AB - Injected space charge trapped in the space-charge-limited dielectric diode by cooling under forward voltage bias is thermally released on warming under reverse voltage bias. Measurements on cadmium sulphide diodes are presented. The temperature dependence of reverse current shows narrow peaks produced by the thermal emptying of trapping levels. A three-level model is proposed for cadmium sulphide consisting of high and nearly equal densities of shallow donor levels and deep trapping levels and a moderately shallow trapping level with a density of about 1017/cm3 at a depth of about 0.40 ev below the conduction levels.
