Abstract

Photocurrent multiplication has been observed in a-Si:H basis p/a-SiN/i/n junction photocells. As a result of optimizations of the device structure, an external quantum efficiency exceeding 70 has been obtained so far under the reverse biased operation voltage 30V. From a systematic investigation of the photocurrent characteristics, it has been inferred that the excess component of the current arises from the real-space interband tunneling across the a-SiN:H layer.
