摘要
The hydrogen and silicon density of a-Si:H-films deposited by an expanding thermal plasma have been investigated for a wide range of substrate temperatures and growth rates by infrared absorption spectroscopy in combination with elastic recoil detection and Rutherford backscattering. The study reveals that, despite the increasing atomic hydrogen interaction and high substrate temperatures, the a-Si:H remains purely amorphous at low growth rates as concluded from Raman spectroscopy. Additionally, the infrared spectroscopy proportionality constants of the silicon-hydrogen and silicon-deuterium bondings have been recalibrated.
