Electronic and optical properties of a-(Si, Ge):H
Abstract
Amorphous (Si,Ge):H alloys are a potentially useful class of materials for photovoltaic applications. This paper reports on the electronic and photovoltaic properties of a-(Si-Ge):H alloys made by glow-discharge deposition of SiH4 and GeH4. The paper also reports on H bonding, photoconductivity, Fermi level positions, electron and hole products, valence band tails, electron affinity, heterojunction properties, and device properties.
