Abstract

We present a study of the temperature and intensity dependence of the (μτ)p for Schottky barriers on an a-Si:H and a 1.3eV aSi,Ge:H,F alloy. Measured values for the activation energy of (μτ)p, , and the generation rate exponent of the (μτ)p, φ, show good agreement with calculated values. We also relate the (μτ)p with the mid-gap defect density, Na.
