Abstract

Optical emission intensities have been measured as a function of composition for silane-argon and silane-hydrogen mixtures used in the deposition of hydrogenated amorphous silicon. It was found that changes in silane fraction have a large effect on the electron concentration and energy distribution in the discharge.
