Abstract

Structural and electronic properties of novel high bandgap a-Si,S: H and a-Si,Se: H alloys are reported. The incorrporation of chalcogen atoms in the Si matrix is found to produce an increase in structural disorder which is evidenced by the increase in the amount of clustered hydrogen in the thin alloy films, an increase in the width of the localized band tail states and an increase in the gap state defect density. For optical gaps ranging from 1.85 to 2.1 eV, the photosensitivity of the a-Si,S: H and a-Si,Se: H alloys exceeds 103.
