Abstract

ABSTRACTWe investigated the optical and electronic properties of amorphous silicon carbide (a-Si1−xCx:H) films produced by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition from admixtures of silane and ditertiarybutylsilane [SiH2 (C4H9) 2 or DTBS] using photothermal deflection spectroscopy, electrical conductivity and its temperature dependence as well as photoconductivity. These a-Si1−xCx:H films exhibit low Urbach energies and high photoconductivities similar to films produced with other carbon feedstock sources. We also present our results for hydrogen diluted a-Si1−xCx:H films using DTBS as the carbon feedstock source.
