This book was released on 2005 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hydrogenated amorphous silicon-germanium alloy thin films (a-SiGe:H) of various germanium concentrations, are potential candidates meeting the requirements of high efficiency stacked solar cells and optoelectronic devices where a certain bandgap is necessary. In this thesis to obtain reliable information about the native and light induced defect states present in a-SiGe:H alloy thin films of various germanium concentrations SSPC, DBP, transmission spectroscopy and PDS techniques have been used. A procedure based on Ritter Weiser optical formulation has been applied to calculate fringe free absolute absorption coefficient spectra of a-SiGe:H alloy thin films of various Ge% from the yield DBP and simultaneously measured transmission signals for the first time. The results have been compared with those independently measured by PDS method.In the annealed state the effects of native defect states in a-SiGe:H alloy thin films of various Ge% have been investigated. For the a-SiGe:H alloy films with Ge concentration in the range of 10% to 30%, hntn-products for the photogenerated free electrons is the highest, therefore they serve as the best photoconductive absorber layer in the multijunction solar cells. The effect of Ge content in amorphous silicon network clearly indicates a systematic decrease in the bandgap with increasing Ge content. The E0v values are almost constant around 55meV for alloying up to 40% Ge. Finally the changes in the defect density present in the bandgap of alloy films are inferred from the a(1.0eV) measured by both PDS and low bias light DBP spectrum. The difference between PDS and low bias DBP spectra is attributed to the underlying physics of these methods. The best film with lowest defect density can be prepared with alloying Ge in the range from 10% to 40% Ge.In the light soaked state, samples were left under white light illumination (15 suns) for determined time intervals. SSPC measurements indicate that all samples exhibit certain degree of degradation in the magnitude of sph and hntn products. The rate of a(1.0 eV) decreases as Ge% increases in the light soaked state. Higher Ge content films (50%, 75%) show almost no degradation in sub-bandgap absorption. As the degradation slope of a(hn) and 1/hntn product are not same for all samples it can be inferred that subgap absorption and photoconductivity measurements are not controlled by the same set of defects present in the bandgap.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the first year of a continuing research study to understand how recombination, trapping, and band-mobility modification affecting the electronic properties of amorphous semiconductors can be measured, characterized, and described by an appropriate spectrum of defect states, and how light-induced defects in a-Si:H and native defects in a-SiGe:H affect transport properties in these materials. The objective was to determine how the Staebler-Wronski defects affect the electronic processes in a-Si:H and a-SiGe:H films. To do this, electroluminescence (EL) and forward bias current in p-i-n devices (i-layer thickness> 2?m) were studied both experimentally and theoretically before and after light soaking. A simple picture was developed to compare forward bias current to the EL signal. The result was unexpected: the product of the final current times the rise time was not constant before and after light soaking as expected from the concept of gain band width, but instead changed radically. The rise time tx increased by more than one order of magnitude while the final current I{sub f} did not change significantly with light soaking. On the other hand the I{sub f}tx product did hold close to a constant when only the applied voltage changed.

This book was released on 1993 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes work during the second year of a continuing research study. The work is designed to help us understand how recombination, trapping, and band-mobility modification affecting the electronic properties of amorphous semiconductors can be measured, characterized, and described by an appropriate spectrum of defect states. We also worked to determine how light-induced defects in a Si:H and native defects in a-Si:H and native defects in a-Si:H and native defects in a SiGe:H affect transport properties in these materials. During this second year, we continued our experiments on electroluminescence (EL) and transient forward bias current, as well as photocurrent before and after light soaking. We started a program to study thin (0.4?m) p-i-n solar cells, and we studied the effect of optical bias on charge transport in a Si:H films. We performed analytical calculations on a model that predicts an exponential energy region for band tails from dilute random charges. We developed a model for the carrier-recombination-lifetime distribution. We solved the equations for H-diffusion including deep trap levels. Lastly, we analyzed simulation data under forward bias in p-i-n devices. The most interesting and important results were obtained on the EL spectra in thin solar cell devices. We found that, at elevated temperatures, thin p-i-n devices displayed primarily defect luminescence (0.8-0.9 eV), while in thick (> 2?m) devices the luminescence observed was the main band (l.l-1.2 eV). We also found that, in thin cells with buffered layers, p-b-i-ns̀ the main band luminescence was more pronounced than that in simple p-i-ns̀. For the first time we have distinguished between bulk and junction- controlled recombination.

Book excerpt: The Institute for Amorphous Studies was founded in 1982 as the international center for the investigation of amorphous mate rials. It has since played an important role in promoting the und er standing of disordered matter in general. An Institute lecture series on "Fundamentals of Amorphous Materials and Devices" was held during 1982-83 with distinguished speakers from universities and industry. These events were free and open to the public ,and were attended by many representatives of the scientific community. The lectures themselves were highly successful inasmuch as they provided not only formal instruction but also an opportunity for vigorous and stimulating debate. That last element could not be captured within the pages of a book I but the lectures concentrated on the latest advances in the field I which is why their essential contents are he re reproduced in collective form. Together they constitute an interdisciplinary status report of the field. The speakers brought many different viewpoints and a variety of back ground experiences io bear on the problems involved I but though language and conventions vary I the essential unity of the concerns is very clear I as indeed are the ultimate benefits of the many-sided approach.
