Radioactive tracer techniques and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to study diffusion in films of hydrogenated amorphous material at temperatures of between 200 and 500C. The films were P-doped and had various defect structures. The migration rate and the diffusion coefficient were found to depend upon the defect structure. Thus, the diffusion coefficient at 300C in P-doped material increased from 10-16 to 10-15cm2/s with increasing defect density.
