Abstract

We report results on a study on μc-Si:H and (μc-SiC:H films deposited by PECVD. The crystallinity fraction and the crystal sizes have been evaluated by X-ray diffractometry, Raman spectroscopy and Transmission Electron Microscopy(TEM). Infrared vibrational spectra of both μc-Si:H and |μc-SiC:H samples have been studied to obtain information on their structure. A comparison between the structure of the amorphous and diphasic amorphous-microcrystalline samples has been performed. Optical properties were obtained by transmission-reflectance and PDS measurements. Electronic transport mechanisms through the conductivity measurements in a wide range of temperatures (50-500 K) have been defined. Structural and electron density models have been discussed and used to interpret the experimental results.
