Point-contact Schottky diodes have been used to detect 10.6-μ radiation. Best results were obtained with n-Ge/W contacts. These gave voltage responsivity about an order of magnitude larger than typical metal-oxide-metal point contacts under zero-bias conditions, although with higher source impedance.
