NonUnear subgap photoconductivity of polycrystamne silicon

چکیده

The photoconductance of poiycrystaHine silicon films at photon energies smaller than the band gap has been measured as a function of intensity applying a 1.3 pm wavelength semiconductor laser. The observed photosignaI increases superlinearly at low intensities and saturates above about 1.5 W / em 2. This distinct nonlinearity is caused by a significant energy dependence of optical to thermal cross sections of trap states in the band gap. Assuming a three-Ie vel-rate equation model, grain boundary trap densities were evaluated.

Spectroscopic and Optoelectronic Properties of Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon-Chalcogen Alloys

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon-chalcogen alloy thin films have been the subject of growing interest during the past two decades. Thin films of these alloys are usually prepared by the decomposition of SiH4 and H2S or H2Se gas mixtures in a radiofrequency plasma glow discharge at a substrate temperature of 250°C. The alloy composition is varied by changing the gas volume ratio RV = [chalcogen/ s...

Mobility - lifetime estimates in amorphous hydrogenated silicon ( a -

Estimates of the majority photocarrier mobility-lifetime (pt) product obtained from time-of-flight transient photoconductivity and from steady-state photo-conductivity are compared. It is shown that in principle both experiments measure the integral of the transient drift mobility; the demonstration is based solely on linear response theory and is independent of the specific microscopic transpo...
