Abstract
The effect of high-temperature annealing on the conductivity sigma(d) and the photoconductivity sigma(ph) of phosphorus-doped amorphous sili con a-Si:H films is investigated. It is shown that an increase of sigm a(d) and sigma(ph), as was observed in boron-doped films as a result o f an increain the concentration of electrically active B impurity atom s, is not observed in the films after annealing them at temperatures T -a < 450 degrees C. A possible explanation is given for the different effect of annealing on films doped with a donor and an acceptor impuri ty. (C) 1996 American Institute of Physics.
