We have grown undoped and doped amorphous silicon (a-Si) by low-pressure chemical vapour deposition (LPCVD) from silane at 550 and 580 • C. The samples were then post-hydrogenated in an RF hydrogen plasma. The material is characterized by measurement of conductivity, hydrogen content and the slope of the Urbach tail. The effect of fast thermal quenching on the conductivity is investigated and the thermal equilibrium temperature is measured for doped LPCVD a-Si.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
