Amorphous boron-silicon-hydrogen alloys for thin-film heterojunction solar cells. Quarterly technical progress report No. 1, 1 June 1980-31 August 1980

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5030870
Amorphous boron-silicon-hydrogen (a-B:Si:H) films have been grown in dc proximity glow discharges in atmospheres containing B/sub 2/H/sub 6/, SiH/sub 4/ and H/sub 2/. The films are p-type and exhibit conductivities as high as approx. 3 x 10/sup -4/ ..cap omega../sup -1/ cm/sup -1/. They do not exhibit any significant photoconductivity or photoluminescence. In the next quarter we plan to construct and characterize a-B:Si:H/a-Si:H heterojunction solar cells.
