Two Parameters

Amorphous hydrogenated silicon carbide (a-SiC:H) thin films have been prepared by the RF reactive magnetron sputtering technique. The optical properties of the films have been studied by optical spectroscopy with an incoherent light source. The material is commonly regarded as a dielectric. We have discovered however that some films that were prepared under certain deposition conditions and on certain substrates may respond to external light as a metallic thin film, i.e. there are strongly enhanced reflection peaks in the optical spectrum. We have further discovered that some films may have a strong and broadened absorption peak at about 590 nm, which is an apparent photonic bandgap in the visible spectrum. The appearance of the photonic bandgap is very sensitive to two parameters: the substrate and the deposition gas. By changing the two parameters, one shifts the status of the film from with and without the photonic bandgap.

Proposed Model

ABSTRACTA simple model to describe the fundamental absorption of amorphous hydrogenated silicon carbide thin films based on band fluctuations is presented. It provides a general equation describing both the Urbach and Tauc regions in the absorption spectrum. In principle, our model is applicable to any amorphous material and it allows the determination of the bandgap. Here we focus on the bandgap engineering of amorphous hydrogenated silicon carbide layers. Emphasis is given on the role of hydrogen dilution during the deposition process and post deposition annealing treatments. Using the conventional Urbach and Tauc equations, it was found that an increase/decrease of the Urbach energy produces a shrink/enhancement of the Tauc-gap. On the contrary, the here proposed model provides a bandgap energy which behaves independently of the Urbach energy.
