Abstract

Boron doped p-type hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H) films have been prepared by radio-frequency glow discharge method. Highly conductive ρ-type μc-Si:H films can be obtained even with lower concentration of hydrogen in the rf glow discharge plasma if chamber pressure is low. Effects of increase in hydrogen (H2) flow rate and chamber pressure have been studied. The structural properties of the films have been studied by x-ray diffractometry. The electrical and optical characterization have been done by dark conductivity, hall measurements and optical absorption measurements respectively. Film with conductivity 0.1(Ω-cm)-1 with band gap 2.1 eV has been obtained.
