研究目的
Investigating the presence and effects of non-bonded hydrogens (NBHs) in hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) films on their structural, optical, and electrical properties.
研究成果
The presence of non-bonded hydrogens in hydrogenated amorphous silicon films significantly affects their structural, optical, and electrical properties. The 'dense restructuring model' explains how NBHs induce compressive stress in the a-Si network, leading to changes in the film's properties. These findings have implications for the design and optimization of optoelectronic devices using a-Si:H films.
研究不足
The study focuses on the effects of NBHs in a-Si:H films but does not explore the potential for these findings to be applied to other materials or under different conditions. The experimental setup and sample preparation may limit the generalizability of the results.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used a combination of Rutherford backscattering spectrometry/hydrogen forward scattering (RBS/HFS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy-attenuated total reflection (FTIR-ATR), and thermal desorption spectrometry (TDS) to confirm the presence of NBHs in a-Si:H films.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Identical samples to those previously reported were used, fabricated using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) on glass substrates.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a Pelletron instrument for RBS/HFS, a Spectrum 100 instrument for FTIR-ATR, and a mass spectrometer with an infrared heating furnace for TDS.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Detailed procedures for each measurement technique were followed, including sample preparation, measurement conditions, and data analysis methods.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data from RBS/HFS, FTIR-ATR, and TDS were analyzed to determine hydrogen content, optical bandgap, and other properties.
