Abstract

Excess electron-hole recombination at high excitation densities in a-Si:H is investigated by comparison of the transient photoconductivity during and just after excitation in the nanosecond time range to numerical models. A simple one parameter recombination model fits the experimental data satisfactorily. An extension of the model where deep trapping is taken into account explains also the transient photoconductivity in Boron doped a-Si:H.
