Abstract
The transport properties of microcrystalline silicon, namely, mobility and conductivity, are investigated by a new method, for which the simple theory as well as numerical modeling is presented. The basic idea of the new method is verified on amorphous hydrogenated silicon by comparison with the widely used time-of-flight method. Contrary to time of flight, the new method can be used even for relatively conductive materials. Preliminary results on microcrystalline silicon clearly indicate the critical role of amorphouslike tissue in transport in microcrystalline silicon.Keywords
