The density of 31P produced by the neutron transmutation doping (NTD) was estimated to be 1012/cm3. Dark and photo conductivities were measured before and after NTD in parallel with ESR measurements. The annealing behavior of the irradiation damage was studied up to the growth temperature of a-Si:H. Dark conductivity of the well-annealed NTD a-Si:H shows an activation type conduction above room temperature with activation energy of 0.69 eV. Keywords: neutron transmutation doping, hydrogenated amorphous silicon, dark and photo conductivities, electron spin resonance, activation energy Paper ID: STP32679S Committee/Subcommittee: F01.06 DOI: 10.1520/STP32679S ASTM International is a member of CrossRef. | ||
