ABSTRACT:
A photodetection device and a current control device, both including means responsive to the intensity of incident radiation for providing an output signal corresponding thereto. The responsive means includes a thin semiconductor film comprising a solid amorphous silicon or amorphous germanium host matrix having electronic configurations and an energy gap. At least one compensating element is introduced into that matrix for reducing the density of states in the energy gap thereof.
