S. Nonomura et al., OPTICAL-ABSORPTION OF HIGH-QUALITY A-SI-H AND A-SIXN1-X-H IN THE LOW-ENERGY REGION 0.43 EV APPROXIMATE-TO-1.5 EV BY PDS, Journal of non-crystalline solids, 166, 1993, pp. 359-362
Absorption coefficient spectra by PDS have been examined in a-Si:H and
a-SiXN1-X:H. The contribution of absorption by some kinds of substrat
es are shown in PDS spectrum in a-Si:H with low defect density. In the
condition free from substrate absorption, the effect of thermal annea
ling below the deposition temperature and addition of nitrogens to Si
are demonstrated.
