Small collection-electrode monolithic CMOS sensors profit from a high signal-to-noise ratio and small power consumption, but have limited active sensor volume due to the fabrication process based on thin high-resistivity epitaxial layers. In this paper, depth is investigated in technology demonstrator CLICTD. Charged particle beams are used study charge-collection properties performance of devi...

It is debated in the silicon PV community whether or not presence of hydrogen essential for permanent suppression (“regeneration”) recombination activity boron–oxygen (BO) defect, which responsible light-induced degradation (LID) solar cells produced from B-doped oxygen-rich silicon. The BO-LID defect has been identified as a BsO2 complex negative-U properties. This study focuses on interaction...
