Abstract

Phosphorous doped hydrogenated amorphous silicon films were deposited by microwave electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma CVD at a substrate temperature of 100°C. Electrical, optical and hydrogen-incorporation properties of the films have been investigated. By optimizing the deposition condition, the dark conductivity of 3×10−4S/cm is realized without subsequent annealing. Relations between the film properties and ECR plasma properties have been studied by means of optical emission spectroscopy (OES) and quadrupole mass spectroscopy (QMS).
