Abstract :
Fundamental properties of amorphous-silicon/crystalline-silicon heterojunctions are studied through their capacitance-voltage and current-voltage characteristics. In light of the heterojunction properties, the applicability to devices such as vidicon targets, gamma-ray detectors, solar cells, and heterojunction bipolar transistors is discussed
