Abstract
Photoelectric structures with memory (PESM) of the type Au-ZnSe-SiO2-Si provide conversion of an optical image to a charge pattern in a high-resistance wide band-gap semiconductor ZnSe having a high concentration of trapping sites (TS). The recorded light gives rise to a photoinjection of charge carriers from semitransparent Au electrode to ZnSe. Then electrons or holes drift through the ZnSe layer to the SiO2 boundary and are localized on TS. So, built-in charge spatial distribution of filled TS is in accordance with an input optical image. The image may be read by a local photosignal produced in the Si surface charge region by optical raster scanning.
