Title: Optical emission studies of reactive species in plasma deposition

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6830612

Optical emission studies of the glow-discharge deposition of a-Si:H alloys reveal the presence of reactive species derived from process gases and impurities. Studies of the dependences of emission intensities upon deposition parameters elucidate the mechanisms of formation of these species. Effects of impurities detected by emission spectroscopy upon a-Si:H film electronic properties are discussed. A model of the chemical reactions involved in film growth is presented.
