Abstract

The creation of metastable defects in hydrogenated amorphous silicon subjected to short, intense light pulses has been studied. Experimental results for a variety of pulsed light sources are presented and discussed. It is found that pulse degradation leads to much faster creation of metastable defects, with interesting consequences for accelerated degradation testing and for the modelling of the Staebler-Wronski-effect in a-Si:H.
