AMORPHOUS SILICON

Amorphous silicon was initially used in LCD TFTs due to its relatively high yield and uniform deposition on panels. This technology was also perfect for reducing production costs and ensuring a stable product. However, its inherent limitations made it incompatible for high-refresh rate LCDs. However, new materials are replacing amorphous silicon in LCDs and OLEDs. Until that time, amorphous silicon remains a viable option for liquid-crystal displays... Amorphous Silicon is an excellent semiconductor material for electronic applications. Its low transport and recombination properties make it an excellent choice for thin-film transistors. However, the material's defects limit its use in photovoltaics. Hydrogen tends to integrate into free silicon bonds, reducing the effect of these bonds on the semiconductor. Nonetheless, it's possible to produce amorphous silicon cells with a ten percent efficiency... Amorphous Silicon is a type of semiconductor. It has the properties of a "p-i-n"..
