Abstract

The in-situ ESR technique is applied to a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) system in order to investigate the surface microchemical reactions during the growth of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) and plasma treatments of H2 and Ar gases on a- Si:H. The growth model of a-Si:H and the role of H atoms on a-Si:H films are discussed using the experimental results. The recent results on the dynamic surface reactions of crystalline silicon with oxygen molecules in an ultra-high-vacuum ESR system are introduced.
