The paper presents the results on investigations of heterojunction of nanocrystalline AIN layers of p-type with n-type Si. The layers were produced with the impulse plasma assisted MO CVD at 300 K. The heterostructures exhibited the photovoltaic effect with the enlarged spectral quantum efficiency as well as good rectifying and electroluminescence properties.
