Growth and Characterization of Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon using Liquid Organic Sources
Keyword(s):
ABSTRACTThe uses of liquid sources such as tertiarybutylphosphine (TBP) for n-type doping in hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) and ditertiarybutylsilane (DTBS) and n-butylsilane (NBS) for hydrogenated amorphous silicon-carbon alloys (a-SiC:H) are described. A rf glow discharge process is employed to produce the doped a-Si:H and a-SiC:H thin films. Tertiarybutylphosphine (TBP) may ultimately be preferred over phosphine because TBP is less toxic, less pyrophoric and safer to implement. The gross doping properties of a-Si:H doped with TBP are the same as those obtained with phosphine, but there are some differences. N-butylsilane (NBS) and DTBS have been used to produce wide band gap (E04 3 ≈ eV) a-SiC:H.
