Abstract

An IR and multiple quantum NMR (MQNMR) study of hydrogen microstructure in three boron doped a-Si:H is discussed. The total Si-bonded H content of all films was 6.5 ± 1.0 at.% as determined by the 640 cm-1 IR wagging mode, but their boron content, which was determined by secondary ion mass spectrometry, ranged from 0.02 to 0.3 at. %. The number of correlated hydrogen, as measured at a preparation time of 600 μSwas found to be more weakly dependent on the boron content than previously observed in phosphorous-doped glow-discharge films. Upon annealing at 220 °C the MQNMR spectrum show a moderate increase in the number of correlated hydrogen in all three samples.
