ABSTRACTThe effect of carbon incorporation into a-Si:H has been investigated in terms of gap states. The shallow and deep states are measured by a combination of two methods of the time-of-flight and the depletion discharge transient spectroscopy. The results show that the carbon incorporation of 10Z into a-Si:H leads to a slight increase in the conduction-band tail states and an extention of the deep states distribution. However, the increase in the shallow states affects little change in the electron transport properties. The origin of the deep states is also discussed.

Electron transport properties of a-Si:H prepared in a remote hydrogen plasma deposition reactor (RHPD) at TD = 400°C were investigated in the temperature regime 110 K ≤ T ≤ 300 K by time-of-flight and post-transit spectroscopy experiments. Based on these data the conduction-band-tail state distribution was calculated. In the energy range 85 meV ≤ Ec- E ≤ 350 meV below the mobility edge Ec the tail is well described by an exponential distribution with a characteristic energy of ≃ 21 meV. Deeper in the mobility gap (Ec-E > 350 meV) the tail smoothly passes over into the defect density which is approximately six orders of magnitude smaller than at the mobility edge. Comparisons with data deduced on conventionally prepared a-Si:H (RF-, DC-glow discharge) at TD = 230 °C show that electron transport and the conduction band tail of the RHPD material are comparable.
