Abstract

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon films were prepared in an rf glow-discharge system by decomposing undiluted silane at various rf power densities. Dark conductivity and photoconductivity of the films have been measured in the temperature range 420K-100K at four different photon fluxes. It was observed that both dark conductivity and photoconductivity increase with increasing rf power density.
