Nanostructured a-Si:H films grown by the MASD method at various deposition
temperatures (T-s = 300-390 degrees C) were studied. Among these films, tho
se "on the verge of crystallinity" are of particular interest, because they
tend to crystallize. In addition, although their electron-transport parame
ters are slightly inferior to those of conventional device-grade a-Si:H, th
ey are preferable because of the higher stability of their photoconductivit
y under exposure to light. (C) 2000 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
