Abstract

The object of our current investigation is Cu-As2Se3 thin film structures. The impact of corona discharge on photoinduced modifications of the transmission spectra of both asdeposited and exposured with actinic light of the Cu-As2Se3 structures have been studied. Two cases have been investigated. First normal irradiation of the film structures without charging, and another one, when exposure was switched on, 7 kV corona charge at different polarity was applied. As a result, in the region of the weak absorption in the transmission spectra the photobleaching effect was observed and in the region of the strong absorption the photodarkening phenomena was manifested. In the region o weak absorption higher values of photobleaching was observed during exposure in the field of positive corona discharge. The obtained results are qualitatively analyzed taking into account the photodarkening of the semiconductor during it doping with Cu ions as well as transmission increases of the structure during photodiffusion of the cupper in the amorphous semiconductor.
