Dangling-bond states in a-Si,Ge:H,F measured by temperature-dependent μtau

  • 1. Princeton Univ., NJ (USA). Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

Description

The authors report a new technique for measuring the density distribution of the D0-/ state in a-Si:H before and after light soaking and in a-Si,Ge:H,F alloys. Electron time-of-flight (TOF) measurements as a function of temperature from the basis of their new technique. The deep trapping of electrons controls the mobility-lifetime product (μtau)n, which is evaluated from the integrated TOF current. The dominant deep trap is the D0-/ level. The authors obtain the density of D0-/ states in a-Si,Ge:H,F which peak at Ec-(0.40 to 0.45) eV, with maxima in the 1018 to 1019 cm-3eV-1 range. In a-Si:H, the peak lies at Ec-0.45 eV; they observe its growth with increasing light-soaking time
