Abstract
In this study the reverse-bias annealing effect on the density of stat es(DOS) in hydrogenated amorphous silicon pin diodes was investigated. In order to find the effect of reverse-bias thermal annealing on the DOS around the midgap of the i-region in a pin structure of (p(+)-type )/a-Si:H(intrinsic)/a-Si-H(n(+)-type)/Al the junction capacitance was measured for annealing temperatures of 23-175 degrees C and the DOS ar ound the midgap of the i-region was determined by three different capa citance techniques. The results are tabulated.
