The article discusses the results of a comprehensive thermodynamic analysis of phase equilibria in the system Pb-So by the methods of diagrams of partial pressures and triangulation, the selection of technological conditions for obtaining photodetectors based on lead chalcogenides with high speed and experimental data on realization of photosensitive structures. The aim of the work is to create a model explaining experimental results and illustrating the reasons for choosing technological conditions to receive high speed photo detectors. The formation of high-speed recombination centers in grain interfaces is explained.
Key words: lead chalcogenides, photoconductivity, phase equilibrium, triangulation method.
