Abstract

Effective bandgap modifications of hydrogenated silicon are demonstrated in this work. These films were obtained by (combined) hydrogen dilution and atomic hydrogen treatments during the deposition. The Si—H bonding configurations were characterized by NMR measurements. The hydrogen dilution tends to create a very sharp line-shape in the NMR spectra as the dilution ratio is increased and the addition of atomic hydrogen treatment can produce the same NMR spectra even at a lower temperature. The optical bandgap of these Si:H samples showed the same tendency that the bandgap narrowed as both the dilution ratio was increased and the addition of atomic hydrogen treatment.
