    Sub-Bandgap Optical Absorption Spectroscopy of Hydrogenated Microcrystalline Silicon Thin Films Prepared Using Hot-Wire Cvd (cat-Cvd) Process
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Göktaş, Oktay; Işık, Nebile; Okur, Salih; Güneş, Mehmet; Carius, Reinhard; Klomfaß, Josef; Finger, Friedhelm
    Hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H) thin films with different silane concentration (SC) have been prepared using the HW-CVD technique. Dual beam photoconductivity (DBP), photothermal deflection spectroscopy (PDS), and transmission measurements have been used to investigate the optical properties of the μc-Si:H films. Two different sub-bandgap absorption, α(hν), methods have been applied and analyzed to obtain a better insight into the electronic states involved. A good agreement has been obtained in the absorption spectrum obtained from the PDS and DBP measurements at energies above the bandgap. Differences between PDS and DBP spectra exist below the bandgap energy where DBP spectra always give lower α(hν) values and show a dependence on the SC. For some films, differences exist in the α(hν) spectra when the DBP measurements are carried out through the film and substrate side. In addition, for some films, there remains fringe pattern left on the spectrum after the calculation of the fringe-free absorption spectrum, which indicates structural inhomogeneities present throughout the film.

    Photoconductivity Spectroscopy in Hydrogenated Microcrystalline Silicon Thin Films
    (Springer Verlag, 2003) Güneş, Mehmet; Akdaş, Deniz; Göktaş, Oktay; Carius, Reinhard; Klomfaß, Josef; Finger, Friedhelm
    Steady-state photoconductivity and sub-bandgap absorption measurements by the dual-beam photoconductivity (DBF) method were carried out on undoped hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon thin films prepared by VHF-PECVD and hot-wire chemical vapor deposition. The results are compared with those of the constant-photocurrent method (CPM) and photothermal deflection spectroscopy (PDS). It is found that DBP, CPM, and PDS provide complementary data on the optoelectronic processes in microcrystalline silicon.
