Ia. Kurova et al., EFFECT OF HIGH-TEMPERATURE ANNEALING ON THE ELECTRICAL AND PHOTOELECTRIC PROPERTIES OF PHOSPHORUS-DOPED A-SI-H FILMS, Semiconductors, 30(1), 1996, pp. 6-8
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
