Abstract

A novel method of the preparation of a-Si:H films by employing VHF(144MHz band) plasma is described. Optical emission spectroscopy is employed as a diagnostic tool in the plasma. Due to high generation efficiency of radicals, a-Si:H films are deposited at high deposition rates at low power density without sacrificing electrical properties. Criteria for the deposition of microcrystalline Si films are also discussed.
