Abstract

The change of the hydrogen effusion spectra and of deuterium in-diffusion profiles in a-Si:H and a-Si alloys by boron doping is attributed to a Fermi level dependent change of the Si-H bond rupture energy. For low and high substrate temperatures additional effects occur due to structural heterogeneity.
