Conduction mechanisms in doped mixed-phase hydrogenated amorphous/nanocrystalline silicon thin films

Surface passivation of crystalline silicon by Cat-CVD amorphous and nanocrystalline thin silicon films C.Voz

In this work we study the electronic surface passivation of crystalline silicon with intrinsic thin silicon films deposited by Catalytic CVD. The contactless method used to determine the effective surface recombination velocity was the Quasi-Steady-State Photoconductance technique. Hydrogenated amorphous and nanocrystalline silicon films were evaluated as passivating layers on nand p-type float...

Properties of Sputtered A-ge and A-ge:h Thin Films

Title of Thesis : Properties of sputtered a-Ge and a-Ge:H thin films Hanjin Cho, Master of Science in Electrical Engineering , 1987 Thesis directed by : Dr. Kenneth S. Sohn. The effect of the amorphous and glassy structure of amorphous germanium films on their electrical characteristics was investigated experimentally. The films were deposited onto silicon substrates using a modified MRC 8800 t...

Experimental investigations into the formation of nanoparticles in a/nc-Si:H thin films

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin films with nanocrystalline silicon inclusions sa /nc-Si:Hd have received considerable attention due to reports of electronic properties comparable to hydrogenated amorphous silicon sa-Si:Hd coupled with an improved resistance to the light-induced formation of defects. In this study, a /nc-Si:H thin films are synthesized via radio-frequency plasma-enhanced che...
