DENSITY-OF-STATES IN MICROCRYSTALLINE SILICON FROM THERMALLY-STIMULATED CONDUCTIVITY — •Nacera Souffi, Rudolf Brüggemann, and Gottfried H. Bauer — Institut für Physik, Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg, D-26111 Oldenburg

The technique of thermally stimulated currents has been applied to extract the density-of-states profile in microcrystalline silicon. Exploiting the experimental parameter space a consistent density-of-states profile emerges with an exponential conduction band tail and a broader deeper distribution. Calibrating the absolute density of states profile from other techniques like modulated photoconductivity, steady-state photocarrier grating technique and intensity-dependent photoconductivity allows a determination of the capture coefficient of the probed localised states.
