Characterization of a-Si:H/c-Si Heterojunctions by Time Resolved Microwave Conductivity Technique by Amornrat Limmanee, Joaquim Nassar, Igor P. Sobkowicz, Jaran Sritharathikhun, Kobsak Sriprapha, Guillaume Courtois, Francois Moreau, Pere Roca I Cabarrocas

“…By using 1064 nm laser pulse with high excitation, differences in the decay curve shape between samples with and without p-n junction were observed. The samples containing p-n junction(s) had unique slow decay mode, after the initial fast decay, which we ascribed to the release of carriers from the low-mobility amorphous layer into the high-mobility crystalline wafer as the built-in field of the junction was restored. …”
