32. We will denote thermionic emission over the Schottky barrier as "TE" and the barrier to thermionic emission as the Schottky barrier.

44. Our understanding of the doping process is rather rudimentary, at this moment. The results of further investigation, which were and are done to evaluate more accurately the density of irradiated-induced defects and the kinetics of the process, will be reported elsewhere (Ref. 36).

48. The case of Poole-Frenkel emission will not be considered here since this mechanism is a particular case of hopping conduction with a low density of impurities/defects in the layer.

54. We use for this analysis the derivative, dJ/dV, instead of J/V so as to avoid the voltage dependence due to the voltage drop in the semi-conductor. The plot with J/V as the Y-axis, is given in the Supporting Information (Fig. S2).
