ABSTRACTWe propose a model for laser-induced chemical vapor deposition in which the growth of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin films is rate-controlled by the gas phase homogeneous thermal dissociation of SiH4 The gas temperature is determined by a steady-state balance between energy absorbed from the laser and energy lost by thermal conduction.The film properties are primarily controlled by the substrate temperature.
