Preparation Capacity of Reactive Evaporation Method for Amorphous Silicon

Abstract
Doped a-Si:H films, and nondoped and doped a-Si:N:H films were prepared by the electron-beam deposition of silicon, hydrogenation being achieved by supplying hydrogen ions to the film surface during deposition. The photo- and dark-conductivities showed characteristics similar to those of films prepared by SiH4 glow discharge and CVD. Boron, in the form B2H6, and Al were used as p-type dopants, while Sb was used as an n-type dopant.
