Abstract

Films of a- Si: Hwere deposited from Sill4 in a parallel configuration employing acw CO2 laser. Infrared spectra, photoconductivities and dark conductivities of the films were studied as a function of surface temperature between 250°C and400° C. The results are compared with data obtained from deposition experiments using Si2H6 and an ArF laser. Implications for the mechanism of LICVD are discussed.
