Semi-quantitative study on the Staebler--Wronski effect of hydrogenated amorphous silicon films prepared with HW-ECR-CVD system

The method of numerical simulation is used to fit the relationship between the photoconductivity in films and the illumination time. The generation and process rule of kinds of different charged defect states during illumination are revealed. It is found surprisingly that the initial photoconductivity determines directly the total account of photoconductivity degradation of sample.     

Light induced microstructure transformation in a-Si：H films

A series of a-Si:H films are deposited by hot wire assisted microwave electron cyclotron resonant chemical vapour deposition (HW-MWECR-CVD), subsequently exposed under simulated illumination for three hours. This paper studies the microstructure change during illumination by Fourier Transformation Infrared (FTIR) spectra. There are two typical transformation tendencies of microstructure after illumination. It proposes a model of light induced structural change based on the experimental results. It is found that all samples follow the same mechanism during illumination, and intrinsic structure of samples affect the total H content.     

HW-MWECR-CVD法制备氢化微晶硅薄膜及其微结构研究

用热丝辅助微波电子回旋共振化学气相沉积方法制备出高晶化体积分数的氢化微晶硅(μc-Si:H)薄膜.拉曼散射和X射线衍射技术对样品的微观结构测量分析表明，当反应气体中SiH₄浓度在3.6%—50%之间大范围变化时，μc-Si:H薄膜均具有高的晶化体积分数.进一步的分析表明，在SiH₄浓度较大时制备的薄膜，其结构以非晶-微晶的过渡相为主.薄膜易于晶化或生长为过渡相的主要原因是微波电子回旋共振使SiH₄气体高度分解，等离子体高度电离. 关键词： 微波电子回旋共振化学气相沉积 氢化微晶硅薄膜 拉曼散射 X射线衍射     

采用两步压强法制备优质微晶硅薄膜

针对氢化微晶硅薄膜吸收系数较低、制备需要较高厚度,从而需要较高沉积速度的问题,考虑到压强对沉积速度及晶化比的重要影响,在分析了单一压强法制备薄膜优缺点的基础上,提出了采用两步法来制备高质量微晶硅薄膜的方法.即先采用高压制备薄膜2min,减小非晶转微晶的孵化层厚度,然后再采用低压制备薄膜18min,提高薄膜的致密度及减小氧含量,最后制备出了光敏性较高,晶化比较大并且光照稳定性也较好的优质氢化微晶硅薄膜.
