Abstract

No correlation was found between the stress in hydrogenated amorphous silicon films and the light-induced effect, as measured by the photoconductivity. An equation is derived for calculation of the external stress applied to a film. The light-induced degradation in a]] zero-stress" film (one removed from the substrate) was shown to be equivalent to that of an as-deposited film.
