Effects of Phosphorus-Doping on the Microstructures, Optical and Electric Properties in N-Type Si:H Thin Films

Abstract:

In this paper we present a system study of phosphorus-doped hydrogenated silicon (Si:H) films prepared on glass by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technique with radio frequency (RF) (13.56 MHz) and DC bias stimulation. The films were characterized using Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical transmittance and square resistance measurement.
