摘要
Laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy is used to measure spatia[ly resolved SiH radical densities in pure SiH4 and SiH4/H-2 radio-frequency glow discharges devoted to amorphous silicon thin-film deposition. Absolute density calibration is achieved by a Rayleigh scattering measurement in N-2 Typical SiH densities of same 10(10) cm(-3) are measured on the plasma axis with a detection limit of similar to 10(9) cm(-3). The experimental results are compared to the SiH densities calculated by a two-dimensional numerical model or the SiH4/H-2 plasma. A good agreement is found both in hydrogen-diluted and pure silane plasmas.
