The temperature dependence of the optical properties for amorphous silicon is studied at wavelengths of 632.8 and 752 nm. Both the refractive index and extinction coefficient increase linearly with temperature for 752 nm, while the refractive index decreases and the extinction coefficient increases for 632.8 nm. The rate of increase of the extinction coefficient at 632.8 nm is twice as much as that for 752 nm.

Auger Analysis Of Si–H Bonding And Hydrogen Concentration In Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon, Nancy Burnham, Aj Nelson, Ab Schwartzlander, Se Asher, Ll Kazmerski Apr 1986

Auger Analysis Of Si–H Bonding And Hydrogen Concentration In Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon, Nancy Burnham, Aj Nelson, Ab Schwartzlander, Se Asher, Ll Kazmerski

Nancy A. Burnham

Auger electron spectroscopy line‐shape analysis of the Si‐L 2 3 V V peak has been performed on hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a‐Si:H). Both a‐Si:H produced by hydrogen implantation of siliconsingle crystals (for analytical standards) and thin films (fabricated for solar cell applications) were examined in these studies. Hydrogen concentrations were confirmed by secondary ion mass spectrometry, and samples having hydrogen content over the range 101 6–102 2 cm− 3 were evaluated. Correlations between the area under the deconvoluted L 2 3 V V transition peak and the known hydrogen content have resulted in a semiquantitative method of determining hydrogen concentration using …

A new thin‐film tunnel triode is discussed which uses a p‐type amorphous film to achieve amplification of injected current from a tunnel cathode. It is not only the basis for a new semiconductor device but also suggests a novel method for measuring electrical properties of semiconductors.
