Abstract
The optical modulation spectra and photoconductivity of a number of a- Si:H films containing 5-6at.% hydrogen with different microstructure p arameters (R = 0.2-0.8) have been investigated. Information about the defect density in the films, spreading of band edges (tailing), the ga p width, and the product of the mobility and the lifetime of the elect rons has been obtained. The microstructure is shown to have a substant ial effect on the optoelectronic parameters of films with low hydrogen content. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
