Abstract
A systematic study of the changes in photovoltaic properties of amorphous silicon p-i-n-type solar cells upon 100 h of white light (air mass (AM) 1.5 G) soaking has been made with the thickness of the i layer as variable parameter. The thickness of the i layer ranged from 700 to 7500 Å . A significant rise in open-circuit voltage was observed in cells having an i layer less than 2500 Å thick. This is explained as an effect of doping enhancement in the p and n layers of the cell upon light soaking. A study of collection efficiency spectra revealed that with an increase in i layer thickness the degradation increases towards longer wavelengths.
