Abstract

We report a study of the interface formation between a-Si:H and a-SiOx:H or a-SiN:H in the coverage regime from a submonolayer to a few layers. The films were grown by plasma assisted CVD and characterized by photoemission. Our studies show that the growth mechanism is different for a-SiOx:H on a-Si:H than for a-Si:H on a a-Si:Ox:H. The growth of the a-SiNx:H/a-Si:H interface on the other hand is independent of the direction.
