This paper presents a result that shows that the trap-assisted tunnelling and band to band tunnelling mechanisms make negligible contributions to the dark current in an HgCdTe p + -n junction. Alternatively, the excess dark current of these junctions can be fairly well accounted for by invoking the avalanche multiplication mechanism.
