Abstract

We have performed the investigations of temperature dependencies of dark conductivity σd(T) in a-Si:H films deposited on different substrates (glass, oxynitride, polyimide film) at the temperature range of 20 °C to 250 °C. The temperature dependence of dark conductivity of a-Si:H on glass and oxynitride demonstrates the “kink” at 80 –160 °C. This “kink” wasn't observed in σd(T) measurements of a-Si:H on polyimide. It has been shown that the appearance of “kink” is connected with substrate material, value of applied electric field and its polarity. The relaxation nature of the “kink” is also suggested. Two transport mechanisms of charge carriers are proposed - transport via material bulk and transport via a-Si:H/substrate interface. It is shown that “kink” occurs when transport via interface becomes predominant. The mathematical simulation of this process is also presented.
