摘要: Intrinsic hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) has been deposited using a hot tungsten filament in pure silane to drive the deposition chemistry—the “hot-wire” method. The electronic and infrared properties of film have measured as function parameters, leading three principal conclusions. First, obtain high quality material, Si atoms evaporated from (distance L substrate) must react with (density ns) before reaching substrate; this requires nsL greater than critical value. Second, radical-radical reactions cause deterioration at values G(nsL),3 where G is growth rate; G(nsL)3 less Finally, G, increased substrate temperature be correspondingly quality. By optimizing these we produced films excellent (e.g., ambipolar diffusi...
