The preparation of an all-amorphous thin-film p-n junction is described. The a-Si films were produced by the glow discharge decomposition of silane, mixed with trace amounts of donor or acceptor impurities. The current-voltage characteristics of the junction were investigated in the range from 150 to 300 K.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
