Abstract

The silicon—hydrogen bonding configuration studies of hydrogenated silicon films that were fabricated by diluted—hydrogen and hydrogen—atom—treatment methods are presented. The diluted—hydrogen samples tend to show a very sharp line—shape in the NMR spectra as the H2/SiH4 dilution ratio is increased and/or temperature is elevated. The addition of atomic hydrogen treatment can produce the same NMR spectra at a temperature lower than 200°C. The Raman scattering spectra show that the μc—Si phase can be formed by the atomic hydrogen treatment. The infrared absorption spectra also indicate an increase of SiH2 bonding configuration and a hydrogen content reduction when atomic hydrogen treatment is employed. These results suggest that the degree of crystallinity of hydrogenated silicon films can be systematically adjusted.
