Abstract
The effect of mechanical stress on light-induced changes in photoconductivity has been studied in films of plasma-deposited hydrogenated amorphous silicon on different substrates. The experimental results reveal no correlation between the degradation of the photoconductivity and the mechanical stress in these films. These findings contradict the observations of Stutzmann but agree with those of Guha, den Boer, Agarwal and Hack.Keywords
