Abstract

This letter reports on the doping efficiency of nitrogen in a-Ge:H films of electronic quality. It has been found that nitrogen is an effective dopant in the a-Ge:H network, its doping efficiency being similar to the one corresponding to phosphorus in a-Si:H. The concentration of active nitrogen atoms decreases with impurity content following a square root dependence on total nitrogen. This behavior is similar to the one determined for column V dopants in a-Si:H films of electronic quality.
