Abstract

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) films were prepared by mercury photosensitized decomposition of silane using a low-pressure mercury lamp. The deposition rate showed an activation type for substrate temperature (the activation energy: 0.13 eV), because the deposition rate would be determined by the rate of hydrogen elimination from the hydrogen saturated surface. Moreover, the relationship was found between the Si-H2 bond density in a- Si:H films and the gas phase reactions.
