Abstract

A method of processing a type III–VI semiconductor material on a silicon substrate to improve minority carrier diffusion length and EBIC response is provided. The semiconductor material is heated to a temperature in the range of 300° C.–600° C. for a period in the range of 20 seconds to 60 minutes in an atmosphere having a composition of 0–10% of hydrogen in nitrogen.
