Abstract

A review is given of the current status of amorphous Si(a-Si) and related alloys prepared by photo-CVD. Preparation techniques and film quality of the following materials will be reviewed;

  • • undoped a-Si films,

  • • highly conductive n-type and p-type μc-Si films, a-SiGe films.

  • • a-SiC films, superlattice structures.

Finally, the present status of a-Si solar cell performance prepared by photo-CVD will be introduced and the merit of photo-CVD will be discussed.
