Abstract:
We have studied light-soaking effects, such as photoconductivity (PC) degradation kinetics, the changes of conductivity activation energy, Ea, and the defect density of states (DOS) in a-Si:H films deposited by hot-wire CVD. Films were deposited in a substrate temperature range from 280 to 440 °C for filament temperatures of 1900 and 2100 °C. We find that (a) the photodegradation kinetics does not follow the stretched exponential rule for all of the samples; (b) the Fermi level position moves up after light-soaking for most samples; and (c) the metastable defect DOS deduced from sub-band gap absorption is not consistent with that deduced from the electron mobility-lifetime product. The results are discussed according to the possible mechanism in which charged defects exist in hot-wire a-Si:H films.a
