Abstract

Fluorinated microcrystalline silicon hydrogen alloy films have been prepared by the radio frequency glow-discharge decomposition of silicon tetrafluoride/hydrogen mixtures. Thereby, μc-Si:F:H films with high dark conductivity (∼10-3 Ω-1 cm-1), high photoconductivity (∼10- 4 Ω-1 cm-1), showing crystalline structure in selected-area transmission electron microscope diffraction patterns as well as sharp infrared absorption and Raman shift spectra have been obtained under conditions of low-power density (∼0.15 W cm-2) and hydrogen dilution (∼20%).
