Abstract

The fluorinated amorphous and microcrystalline silicon (a,μc-Si:H;F) films have been prepared by rf plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) with SiH 4 and SiF 4 gas mixtures. The stretching Si-O (1085 cm-1) and SiH2 (2100 cm-1) bands estimated from infrared (IR) spectroscope data have related to the evolution of crystallinity and the optical band gap was shifted by introducing Si-O bonds. The sub-band gap absorption coefficient in a,μc-Si:H;F films was about one order lower than that in hydrogenated amorphous silicon film (a-Si:H). The subband gap absorption in a-Si:H;F film was comparable to that in tic-Si:H;F films. The lightinduced degradation of a,μc-Si:H;F films were also suppressed.
