Abstract
AbstractThe preparation of hydrogenated amorphous silicon by the radio-frequency (RF) glow discharge technique is shown to be strongly dependent on the plasma excitation frequency. We have investigated the influence of this parameter on the deposition rate, on the hydrogen content and on the opto-electronic properties of the amorphous silicon films, over the range 25 to 150 MHz. A large variation of the deposition rate is observed, while most of the material properties remain practically unchanged. The results should be of considerable interest for mass production of low-cost amorphous silicon thin film devices.
