Oa. Golikova et al., A-SI-H FILMS FABRICATED AT ELEVATED-TEMPERATURES BY DIRECT-CURRENT, MAGNETRON-ASSISTED SILANE DECOMPOSITION, Semiconductors, 30(10), 1996, pp. 983-985
Direct-current, magnetron-assisted silane decomposition technique in a
magnetic field has been tested for the first time for deposition of f
ilms of an undoped a-Si:H at deposition temperatures of 300-400 degree
s C. By optimizing the process parameters it is possible to obtain dev
ice-quality material with a hydrogen content of up to 2 at.%. With thi
s method, the microstructure parameter R, which characterizes the rati
o of SiH- and SiH2-bonds, can be varied between 0 and 1.0. (C) 1996 Am
