摘要
We investigated the effect of hydrogen dilution on the Si cluster volume fraction of hydrogenated amorphous films by varying the hydrogen dilution ratio at 0.5 Torr and compared it to that obtained at pure silane discharge at 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 Torr. The correlation between the plasma emission characteristic, deposition rate, and cluster volume fraction in the hydrogen dilution plasma was described. The cluster volume fractions of films under hydrogen dilution conditions were similar to those of the pure silane but showed a higher deposition rate. The results suggest that under hydrogen dilution conditions, it is possible to maintain a higher deposition rate with a lower cluster incorporation rate.
