Abstract

Diffusion processes of hydrogen and lithium in amorphous silicon are compared. While similarities in the diffusion energies and in a doping dependence exist, the charge state of the diffusing particles and the type of bonding of diffusing particles in traps differ. In case of Li diffusion, oxygen contamination plays an important role.
