The paper suggests a novel concept of dark conduction blocking in semiconductors with one type conduction comprising a series of (p++-p -p+ - p++) junction of the type. Blocking is caused by the existence of a potential barrier in the region of the P+ -p junction. The barrier is positioned in crystal at a depth of 10-15 micrometers from one of the contacts. As a consequence, the external electric shielded field is blocked by the space-charge region of the junction resulting in the absence of charge transport through the valence band when the structure is not illuminated. IR-photodetectors ((lambda) approximately 1-6,5 micrometers ) fabricated on p-type single crystal silicon are characterized by photoresposivity S(lambda approximately 10-0,1 A/W and dark current density <5.10-9 A/cm2 at T approximately 80 K.
