Abstract

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin films doped with Phosphorus (P) and Carbon (C) were deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). The influence of carbon on the optical property and the content of hydrogen and carbon in the P-doped a-Si:H films were investigated by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, spectroscopic ellipsometry and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, respectively. The results show that the C-Si bonds in the P-C doped a-Si:H thin films can be observed clearly, and the content of hydrogen and carbon as well as the optical band gap increases with increasing CH₄ gas flow rate, but the refractive index decreases with increasing CH₄ gas flow rate in the CVD chamber.
