Abstract

The aim of this work is to provide the basis for the interpretation of the steady state lateral photoeffect observed in p-i-n a-Si:H ID Thin Film Position Sensitive Detectors (ID TFPSD). The experimental data recorded in ID TFPSD devices with different performances are compared with the predicted curves and the obtained correlation's discussed.
