Light-induced degradation (LID) designates the loss of efficiency of doped silicon-based devices such as solar cells and detectors. Despite extensive research into this phenomenon in recent decades, the recombination-active defect responsible for degradation remains unidentified until today. Thereby a variety of dopants were examined, besides boron and copper, indium doped silicon was investigated. A potential explanation for LID in Si:In is the so-called ASi-Sii defect, whose possible defect configurations manifests itself by the appearance of the P-line in the spectrum of low-temperature photoluminescence (LTPL)[1]. Besides this P-line, the spectra of thallium-doped silicon reveal a so-called A-line, whereby this unusual luminescence system is based on a defect which is present in two different configurations[2]. After the first demonstration of LID in Si:Tl, we investigated differently doped samples with regard to the behaviour of these spectral elements under the influence of the LID cycle.[1] K.Lauer, C.Moeller, D.Schulze, and C.
