Abstract

An amorphous semiconductor film includes an amorphous semiconductor host matrix, such as silicon or silicon and oxygen, and a modifier material comprising an alkali metal, such as lithium, incorporated therein by codeposition of the same. The modifier material incorporated in the amorphous host matrix controls the electrical conductivity of the film and other phenomena associated therewith.
