Amorphous silicon p-n junction
Abstract
The preparation of an all-amorphous thin-film p-n junction is described. The a-Si films were produced by the glow discharge decomposition of silane, mixed with trace amounts of donor or acceptor impurities. The current-voltage characteristics of the junction were investigated in the range from 150 to 300 K.
