Abstract
Laser irradiation of hydrogenated amorphous silicon produces recombination centers which shorten the lifetime of carriers. Some of the light‐induced centers are radiative. The generation of the new radiative recombination centers increases with increasing temperature. All the light‐induced centers disappear upon thermal anneal at about 210 °C.
