摘要
Absorption properties are investigated of low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) a‐Si : H by using different techniques as ordinary optical spectroscopy, for the above band‐gap transitions, photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) in the sub‐band‐gap range, and constant photocurrent method (CPM) in both regions. As expected, different values of density of states are obtained by means of CPM and PAS. It is shown that, besides different sensitivity to surface states, this difference can reveal inhomogeneities in the material along the growth axis. A simple model is applied to LPCVD a‐Si: H samples and the result suggests that the growth kinetics could change during the film deposition. Copyright © 1990 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA
