The results of a study in the diffusion length of holes in a-Si:H by measuring the sur-face photovoltage of the metal (Ni) Schottky barrier is reported. The change of field-assis-ted hole transport with bias light was observed. It is believed that measurement of diffusion length by this method may become a useful way of detecting and improving the quality of a-Si:H.
