Abstract
Optically induced degradation of the conductivity (the Staebler–Wronski effect) in glow discharge hydrogenated amorphous Si was examined by a transient grating method. It was clarified that the Staebler–Wronski effect was a bulk and not a surface effect, and the origin of the decrease of the photoconductivity was mainly attributed to the decrease of the lifetime instead of the mobility.Keywords
