A. Toneva et al., THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FILM PROPERTIES AND THE PREPARATION CONDITIONS FOR A-SI-H GROWN BY HOMOGENEOUS CHEMICAL-VAPOR-DEPOSITION, Semiconductor science and technology, 9(12), 1994, pp. 2285-2289
A study is presented of a-Si:H films prepared by homogeneous chemical
vapour deposition (HOMOCVD). a-Si:H is known as a material which is ra
ther stable against degradation by light. The effect of deposition con
ditions on the parameters characterizing the structural and electronic
properties of the films is studied, and two general cases of constant
and variable gas-phase conditions were considered. The obtained data
suggest that the optoelectronic properties of HOMOCVD a-Si:H are not s
trongly related to the structural parameters characterizing the film s
tructure on a large scale and a certain decrease in the density and ho
mogeneity of the a-Si:H films does not lead to their deterioration.
