G. Talukder et al., INFRARED STUDY OF SPUTTERED HYDROGENATED AMORPHOUS-SILICON FILMS WITHUNINTENTIONALLY INCORPORATED OXYGEN AND NITROGEN, Indian Journal of Pure & Applied Physics, 35(9), 1997, pp. 574-578
Reactively sputtered hydrogenated amorphous silicon films with signifi
cant amount of unintentionally incorporated oxygen and nitrogen have b
een studied through quantitative analysis of infrared absorption spect
ra. The results indicate that the incorporation of oxygen and nitrogen
atoms enhance the integrated strengths of 845 and 2090 cm(-1) modes r
espectively, Further the peak position of the 1020 cm(-1) mode moves l
inearly towards higher wave numbers with increasing number of bridging
oxygen atoms attached to six bonding positions of the two silicon ato
ms of the Si-O-Si group.
