Electric field dependent conductivity in amorphous semiconductors

Abstract: The field dependence of the conductivity is related to the basic properties of the electronic structure in amorphous semiconductors, i.e. charged intrinsic defects with negative effective correlation energy and localized states in the tails at the band edges. The general formalism of the model considers the Poole-Frenkel effect which causes an increased carrier density and the field dependence of the mobilit,y of carriers moving by hopping among the localized states in the tails at the band edges. Special case… Show more

“…This effect has been observed for different chalogenic glasses [l], amorphous Si,N, [2], SiO,[3], GeSe [a], ZnSe [5], V,O, [6], Ta,O, [7]. The performed investigation is indicative of a broad energy distribution of localized states in the band gap of these compounds with typical depth E = 0.2 to 1.0 eV and concentration N , = lo1' to 1019 (3111-3. Most theoretical models (see [8] and references therein) describing the field dependence of the amorphous semiconductors are based on the Poole-Frenkel effect for Coulomb or screened Coulomb potential of the trap.…”
