Abstract

Laser-based techniques have been developed to directly study the kinetics of the reactions of the mono-silicon hydride radicals SiH, SiH2 and SiH3. A summary of rate constants obtained from these studies is presented along with a discussion of the implications of these results for present mechanistic models of the PECVD of amorphous hydrogenated silicon from silane.
