ABSTRACTHydrogenated amorphous silicon-carbon alloys, a-Si:C:H, have been deposited as thin films (d=0.1-0.5 micron) on crystalline silicon substrates from a capacitively coupled rf discharge in silane-propane mixtures. Variations in the stoichiometry of the films were achieved by altering the ratio of SiH4 to C3H8 flow rates at a sbstrate temperature in the range 240-260°C and total pressure between 30-70 mtorr. The silicon to carbon ratios were established by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, XPS, and the hydrogen content and distribution by infra-red spectroscopy.
