Counteraction of semiconductor impurity effects |
摘要 |
Method of counteracting the effects of undesired contaminants in an amorphous semiconductor, and the resulting semiconductor product. An overcompensating agent is incorporated in the semiconductor in a restricted or limited region which is less than the entirety of the semiconductor body. The semiconductor is desirably of amorphous silicon. The undesired contaminant is a p acceptor and the compensating dopant is an n donor. Alternatively, the undesired contaminant can be an n donor and the compensating dopant can be a p acceptor. Typical p acceptors are residual boron and typical n donors are phosphorous. The compensation takes place over the range from about 1 to about 25% of the maximum thickness of the region of compensation. The compensating dopant is present in a limited amount ranging from about 1 part to about 50 parts per million.
