摘要: Abstract We have found that the hydrogen evolution from boron-doped a-Si:H films prepared by glow-discharge decomposition of silane-diborane mixtures, differs appreciably undoped or phosphorus-doped material. Firstly, peaks in rate are shifted to lower temperature as much 160°C and, secondly, peak position is almost independent film thickness. Differences content also observed. These findings indicate presence strong microstructural inhomogeneities films. Implications this property consistent with recent transport data.
