摘要: A grossly inhomogeneous, noncolumnar morphology has been observed in doped, plasma‐deposited hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a‐Si:H) within critical ranges of the diborane to silane ratio gas phase. The level can be as low 5 ppm and depends both on electrode self‐bias potential growth rate. Undoped specimens prepared under same deposition conditions have properties typical device‐grade a‐Si:H. These observations suggest a structural origin for some doping‐dependent
