Abstract

This paper presents a new method for studying the interaction of radicals with the surface of a depositing film using a combination of laser spectroscopy and molecular beam techniques. The reactivity of SiH molecules with the surface of a depositing a-Si:H film is measured to be at least 0.95, with no strong dependence on rotational state.
