AbstractPhoto- and electroluminescence were studied in erbium-doped amorphous hydrogenated silicon films. A mechanism of excitation of erbium ions by defect-related Auger process is proposed which permits to explain consistently the whole set of our experimental results.

The Stability

Transition films of amorphous hydrogenated silicon (a-Si:H) to microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H) have attracted much attention due to the stability, high overall quality for solar cells configuration. Hydrogenated amorphous and microcrystalline silicon films were deposited on glass substrates by a conventional plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PEVCD) varying the substrate temperature from 275 to 350 °C. A silane concentration of 4% and a total flow rate of 100 sccm were used at a gas pressure of 267 Pa. The film thicknesses of the prepared samples were between 700 and 900 nm estimated from the optical transmission spectra. The deposition rates were between 0.2 and 0.3 nm/s. The phase composition of the deposited silicon films were investigated by Raman spectroscopy. The transition from amorphous to microcrystalline silicon was found at the higher temperatures. The crystallization process of the amorphous silicon can be affected by the substrate temperature. A narrow structural transition region was observed from the changes of the crystalline volume fraction. The dark electrical conductivity of the silicon films increased as the substrate temperature increasing.
