Photocapacitance and Hole Drift Mobility Measurements in Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon (a-Si:H)

    Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

    Abstract

    We present measurements of the photocapacitance in hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) Schottky barrier diodes under reverse bias. A calculation relating photocapacitance to hole drift mobility measurements is also presented; the calculation incorporates the prominent dispersion effect for holes in a-Si:H usually attributed to valence bandtail trapping. The calculation accounts quantitativelyfor the magnitude and voltage-dependence of the photocapacitance.
