Abstract

The contamination effects induced by B2H6 and B(CH3)3 in a-Si:H layers are compared, using in-situ Kelvin probe experiments as well as SIMS measurements. It is found that B(CH3)3 induces at least 50 times less contamination, even at 250°C. It is also found that materials containing CH3 radicals have a lower electron affinity.
