摘要
The microstructure characterization of plasma-grown a-Si:H, a-Ge:H and related alloys by effusion of implanted helium is studied. Helium effusion transients give information on the microscopic material density and on the presence of isolated voids. The results show a more open microstructure for a-Ge:H than for a-Si:H for samples prepared at substrate temperatures T-S < 200 degreesC and a rather dense structure for both materials at high substrate temperatures. Isolated voids only are detected in a narrow substrate temperature interval. Effects of helium implantation dose, annealing and doping are discussed. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
