S. Nitta et al., STUDIES OF OPTICAL-ABSORPTION COEFFICIENTS-ALPHA OF A-SI-H BY PHOTOLUMINESCENCE ABSORPTION-SPECTROSCOPY, Journal of non-crystalline solids, 166, 1993, pp. 913-916
The limit of the film thickness that could be measured by optical abso
rption coefficients alpha by photoluminescence absorption spectroscopy
(PLAS) is studied and found to be about 400 to 500 Angstrom for prese
nt experimental conditions. Points at issue to improve the limit to th
inner films are discussed by using simulations. Results of preliminary
experiments on the effect of the applied electric field to PLAS devic
es are discussed.
