Abstract

It is proposed that hydrogen in a-Si:H diffuses via a defect-mediated process in which the supporting defects are produced by charge-induced bond breaking. As the efficiency of defect production scales with the availability of mobile charge carriers, our model – in agreement with experiment – predicts small diffusion rates in undoped and compensated and relatively large rates in heavily doped material.
