Original Abstract

We have compared noise spectra and charge transport properties analysis results of CdTe radiation detectors: low-ohmic and semi-insulating. We observed assymmetry of IV characteristics of the low-ohmic detector between "normal" nad "reverse" bias, showing improper quality of contacts preparation, which resulted in higher concentration of impurities in M-S interface area. This finding was supported by the fact that the low frequency noise spectral density magnitude was proportional to applied voltage with exponent of 2.7, which is higher than theoretical value 2. The more advanced manufacturing technology of the semi-insulating detector resulted in symmetric contacts IV characteristics and its linear character. Also, this detector showed lower increase of noise spectral density magnitude with exponent of 2.3.
