Abstract

The large variation in the characteristic temperature (T_t) obtained for undoped hydrogenated amorphous silicon films from space charge limited currents is explained by dopant contamination from adjacent n⁺-type contact layers. This uncontrolled doping effect can make films sensitive to photoinduced conductivity changes. Their conduction characteristics, and hence T_t, will then depend on previous heating and illumination history. © 1984.
