A model has been developed to calculate the growth parameters of silicon fi
lms in diode- and triode-type PECVD reactors and to analyze the factors aff
ecting the deposition of silicon-containing radicals. Mechanisms of the eff
ect of diluting silane with molecular hydrogen on the film growth process h
ave been explained. (C) 2000 MAIK "Nauka/ Interperiodica".
