Abstract

The dependence of chemical composition, structure and optoelectronic properties of sputtered a-SiC:H thin films on substrate temperature, Ts, and hydrogen flow rate has been studied. The films are amorphous for the growth conditions used in this work. The chemical composition of the alloys is very little influenced by the Ts, whereas the hydrogen content and the optical absorption coefficient depends strongly on Ts and hydrogen flow rate.
