Which potential consequence results upon depleting hydrogen passivation in amorphous silicon?

💡 Explanation

Hydrogen passivation reduces dangling bonds by satisfying their valence requirements; therefore depleting it increases the number of unpassivated defects, because this increases the number of recombination centers, rather than improving carrier lifetimes via other means.
