Thermally stimulated currents and photoconductivity in microcrystalline silicon

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This thesis focuses on the characterization of microcrystalline silicon ( c-Si:H) samples by numerically simulated and experimental thermally stimulated currents (TSC). TSC measurements and simulations demonstrate in detail two different retrapping regimes (strong and weak). A combined experiment - simulation approach allows to extract the density-of-states profile and to deduce trap parameters. For ñc-Si:H samples, the conduction band tail parameters vary between 20 meV and 24 meV. Deeper in the gap, a broad defect distribution is obtained. The capture coefficient varies between 1 10-9 cm3 s-1 and 3 10-9 cm3 s-1.
