Popis: We have measured the admittance (conductance and capacitance) of a-Si:H/c-Si heterostructure Schottky diodes as a function of frequency, temperature and voltage in the dark and under spectral illumination (in the wavelength range between λ=500nm and λ=1200nm). Thus, it is possible to observe the activation/deactivation of trapping-detrapping effects within the a-Si:H layer (near the a-Si:H/c-Si interface). We have determined the conduction band offset of the a-Si:H/c-Si heterostructure. The spectral behaviour of the admittance is dominated by the absorption of light in the c-Si and the valence band offset of the heterojunction. We have also developed an equivalent circuit of the a-Si:H/c-Si heterostructure Schottky diode in the dark, which is capable of describing the measured behaviour.
