Abstract

A passivating or insulating layer is described for semiconductor substrat The passivating layer is of the formula Zn.sub.1-x-y M.sub.x Q.sub.y Se:D where 0.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.1, 0.ltoreq.y.ltoreq.1, M and Q represent different specified elements and D represents a dopant. It is prefered that M and Q are Fe or Mn. The substrate is preferably a III-V semiconductor compound. The devices are capable of rapid switching among other uses.
