Summary

A novel technique for the deposition of a-Si:H by a double ion-gun sputtering apparatus is described. Properties of some preliminary samples prepared by this method are discussed. A procedure for gap-state spectroscopy by photoconductivity measurements has been developed and tested on glow-discharge samples. It is shown that there is a close correspondence between gap-state density and recombination kinetics. Some preliminary work on Schottky-barrier cells is reported.
