Electron Drift Mobility

We have measured the electron drift mobility in a-Si:H at high electric fields (E ≤ 3.6 x 105 V%cm). The a-Si:Hpin structure was prepared at Palaiseau, and incorporated a thickp+ layer to retard high field breakdown. The drift mobility was obtained from transient photocurrent measurements from 1 ns - 1 ms following a laser pulse. Mobility increases as large as a factor of 30 were observed; at 77 K the high field mobility de¬pended exponentially upon field (exp(E/Eu), where E u= 1.1 x 105 V%cm). The same field dependence was observed in the time range 10 ns – 1 μs, indicating that the dispersion parameter change with field was negligible. This latter result appears to exclude hopping in the exponential conduction bandtail as the fundamental transport mechanism in a-Si:H above 77 K; alternate models are briefly discussed.

Electron Drift Mobility

Porous titanium dioxide is an attractive material for solar cell application on account of its stability, electron transport properties, and the possibilities for controlling surface morphology as well as for its ease of fabrication and low cost. NanostructuredTiO2has been intensively studied for applications to dye sensitised solar cells. The performance of the titanium dioxide based solar cells is influenced, among other factors, by the electron mobility of the porous titanium dioxide. Different fabrication processes for porous titanium films result in different film morphology, which in turn affects the electron transport. We have employed three different techniques namely, electrostatic spray assisted vapour deposition (ESAVD), D.C. reactive sputtering, and doctor blading of sol-gel dispersions to deposit thinTiO2films onto indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass substrates. All these films exhibited only the anatase phase as confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. Using the time-of-flight technique, the electron drift mobility in the porousTiO2films was measured. The results show that in the low field region (<55,000 Vcm−1) the mobility, in all the films, were in the range of10−7to10−6cm2Vs−1. The drift mobility in the films prepared by reactive sputtering was consistently higher than in the films prepared by the two other techniques. Sputter deposited films had lower porosity (∼10% and 36% for normal-, and oblique (60∘)-angle deposited films) compared to∼50% for films deposited by the two other techniques. The relationship between the drift mobility and film morphology is discussed with the aid of scanning electron microscopy studies.
